In this episode of 13, ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s sustainability staff members talk biomass — the primary heat source for the University — and how burning locally sourced wood chips helped ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ on its path to carbon neutrality.

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ is closing the books on a record-setting 2020–21 fundraising year, thanks to the generosity of ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ alumni and other supporters.

Members of the ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ classes of 2022–25 will now benefit from an additional expansion of the University’s no-loan initiative under the ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ Commitment.

On June 1, ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ announced the ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ Commitment: An Initiative in Access and Affordability.

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s admission team has put the University’s Plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into bold action, with impressive results.

During its spring meeting, the ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ Board of Trustees approved a series of appointments to endowed professorships, effective July 1, 2021.

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s administration and faculty are drawing on national best practices and creating their own innovative approaches to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in tenure-stream hiring.
