ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

During the Summer Academy, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Academy scholars take academic, life skills and college-prep courses. An important aspect of the program includes Evening Sessions, which have historically served as the scholars' extracurricular programming

As the 2026-27 academic year begins, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ is opening a new school, launching innovative new programs and constructing new facilities for the campus community.

Major construction projects completed this summer and underway across campus will enhance student wellness, academic spaces and campus infrastructure in the coming years.

Anu Räisänen, director of HealthEU initiatives and assistant professor and Lynda Butler-Storsved, associate teaching professor of wellness, recently published an educational brief in the Building Healthy Academic Communities Journal (BHAC) on the application of a collaboration framework in well-being work.

In addition to supporting ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s future health and wellness hub, the gift from Trustee Bob Chandler and Amy Chandler will provide funding to make global experiences possible for student-athletes.

Inspired by Book’s service to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, Trustee Kerrii Brown Anderson ’79 has made a $500,000 gift to name the gathering space at the university’s future health and wellness hub.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students, faculty and staff engaged with campus resources and experiences that emphasized well-being as an ongoing, shared effort.

A day of sessions, workshops and community-building activities will highlight holistic well-being and campus connection through HealthEU’s six dimensions.

Scheduled to open in fall 2026, Slattery Center will be located within ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s Innovation Quad, home to the university’s engineering and other STEM programs.

Students reflect on how sustainability influences their daily choices, relationships and future goals following an Alternative Spring Break experience.
