Caley Mikesell is one of eight fellows from around the world spending June and July in rural India to help research and develop holistic programs aimed at improving conditions for impoverished villages.

Alamance County high school students were introduced to the campus community in the 8th annual College Coffee held in honor of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Academy.

A literacy program created by Associate Professor Jean Rattigan-Rohr received $2,500 to help purchase new books for young children tutored by ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ education majors.

Scholars were recognized for making the President's or Dean's List, for being honored at the Black Excellence Awards program in April, for completing internships, for studying abroad and for participating in the Spring Undergraduate Research Forum.

Alamance County students taking part in ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's college access and success program gathered May 14, 2014, to hear words of wisdom from academy leaders and alumni as they prepare to graduate high school.

An effort to showcase both the university's Community Garden and heirloom plants grown by ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students proved popular, as did delicious strawberry treats.

The final Friday of classes this spring features an opportunity for members of the campus community to enjoy strawberry shortcake, ice cream and other light refreshments at the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Community Garden.

Cummings High School senior Jessica Canar-Quito will attend Guilford College in North Carolina with assistance from a program initially funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
