ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø

With the impending opening of our new modern, sustainable, and welcoming campus building at 15 Beekman and the soon-to-start renovations of One ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Plaza East, ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø has big plans for downtown.

Simply put: ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø is building.

For 42 years, University archivist and resident ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø historian Ellen Sowchek has been sharing her infectious enthusiasm for ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø history.

From a student who found her sense of belonging while helping others find theirs; to a parent who lost her son to suicide and has dedicated her life to suicide prevention; to the insights of ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s Chief Wellness Officer and her vision for the future. Check out these perspectives on the growing epidemic of mental health concerns in college students.
