ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

More than 1,500 first-year and transfer students arrived on campus Friday set on learning about social and economic issues impacting their world while finding ways to improve the lives of others.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's newest residential complex is a place for students to grow into global citizens as faculty and staff members who reside on campus create programs that complement what young scholars learn in class.

Fifteen first-year students spent a week earlier this summer exploring campus and the surrounding area as they prepared for the transition to their collegiate studies.

In an Aug. 18 conversation moderated by President Leo M. Lambert, six professors and administrators shared insights about progress on the university’s strategic plan as ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ formally opened the 2014-2015 academic year.

A redesigned home page and global header gives mobile users a better experience navigating the university's website while making it easier for those on campus to find links for email, campus directories, calendars and more.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ is named a best-run college and one of the nation's top universities for overseas study and college theater in the 2015 edition of the Princeton Review college guide.

Several events are planned throughout the weekend of Aug. 22-25 as ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ welcomes students and families in the Class of 2018.

Two ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ student workers in the Office of the Registrar have studied military veterans and students with traumatic brain injuries who enroll in college in need of particular advising resources.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ is recognized for its rapid rise in the magazine's annual "America's Best Colleges" list.

A two-month program ended July 25, 2014, with scholars in ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience displaying their work for professors and peers inside McKinnon Hall during a special College Coffee.
