Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Â鶹ÊÓƵ welcomed to campus this fall students from around the world whose intellectual curiosity and commitment to their communities made them stand out in a record number of applicants for an incoming class.

Enjoy a Facebook photo gallery and a short video reliving the excitement, anxiety and anticipation felt this week by members of the Class of 2018 and their families.

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.

Â鶹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 Â鶹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.

Â鶹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 Â鶹ÊÓƵ welcomes students and families in the Class of 2018.

Two Â鶹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.
