Experiential learning isn't just a trend in higher education; it's the heartbeat of the ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø experience. From donning hip-waders to assess water quality, documenting first-hand narratives of a groundbreaking era in human history, immersing in a transformative semester in LA, to initiating and overseeing on-campus businesses from inception—ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø students don't just learn, they do.
When his wife Kimmi Stephens suddenly had a seizure, Tim Myers, a scientist studying epilepsy, felt his field of study abruptly collide with reality.

Nestled in a corner of the 16th floor of the iconic 41 Park Row, a building steeped in history, the ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø Study is a hidden gem. Within its walls, the Study served as the workspace for Robert S. ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø, the second president of ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø and son of co-founder Homer ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø. Nowadays, it's a haven for small, but significant University meetings.
