As we step into another exciting chapter in ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø's history, we are thrilled to share with you the Summer 2024 edition of ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Magazine. This edition is a testament to our continuous commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s driving mission of Opportunitas.
This summer, our campuses are buzzing with energy and transformation. We are making significant strides in enhancing our student spaces through ongoing construction and renovations. These improvements are designed to provide an even more enriching environment for our students, ensuring they have the best facilities to support their academic and extracurricular endeavors.
From leading the charge in integrating Artificial Intelligence across disciplines to fostering a profound understanding of civil rights history through interdisciplinary field studies, our faculty and students are continually pushing the boundaries of knowledge and impact.
We are incredibly proud of our Elisabeth Haub School of Law, which has once again been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the nation’s top program for Environmental Law. Achievements like these reflect the hard work and dedication of our faculty and students and underscore the excellence of our legal education.
Civic engagement remains at the forefront of our mission. We recently celebrated a historic milestone as our students voted on campus for the first time, enhancing voter accessibility and engagement.
These results have not gone unnoticed. The extraordinary success of the 1906 Challenge and the recent Spirit of ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Awards showcases the strength and generosity of our ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Community.
In this edition of ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Magazine, you will also find stories of our groundbreaking research, inspiring updates from our alumni, and insights into the innovative programs shaping the future of our students. From the new game development major fostering a vibrant community to our impactful digital marketing class making real-world impacts on local businesses, there is much to celebrate.
We are honored to welcome new faculty members who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our community, including acting luminary Kathleen Turner at the Sands College of Performing Arts.
As we reflect on these accomplishments and look forward to new horizons, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide a transformative education that prepares our students to lead and innovate. Thank you for being an integral part of ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø. Together, we continue to make a difference.
Warm regards,
