¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ

First week of classes! This week, the campus has really come alive with students strolling to, and at times, running to their classes. This semester, I am taking Intermediate Spanish, Analysis Health Issues: Cancer, as my first-year seminar, Topics in Organismal Biology, and The Silk Road.

The Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty has announced new faculty members for the coming academic year.

There’s no other spot on campus where, on a given day, you’ll find an alumnus from the Class of ’41, the president of the rugby club, a staff member from the accounting department, and a geography professor. But at ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s new Trudy Fitness Center, they’re all sweating it out in tandem.

The third annual Hamilton International Film Festival held last month drew people from New York state and beyond as films created right here in central New York and from as far away as Denmark were presented.

Because of potentially disruptive weather Sunday as a result of Hurricane Irene, changes have been to the orientation schedule for first-year students. In addition, the Office of Residential Life has extended its hours to accommodate unscheduled early arrivals.

Hello, my name is Natalie Sportelli, and I’m a member of the incoming Class of 2015. I will be writing about my experiences at ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ, and I hope to be informative, entertaining, and enlightening with my observations of campus life.

There were bright smiles, even if there wasn’t any bright sunshine, greeting the newest members of the ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ community today as first-year students moved into their residence halls.

As part of its aggressive push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance sustainability, ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ has signed a 15-year commitment with Patagonia Sur to purchase forestry-based carbon offsets. Under the agreement, a total of 225,000 native-species trees will be planted on 430 acres of land in Chile’s Aysén Region of Patagonia.
