Building a stronger, more resilient College

Even as the COVID pandemic continues to change the world, it is accelerating innovation and new ways of thinking across multiple endeavors and institutions, higher education among them. The College is embracing these opportunities as we deliver quality education, produce leading-edge research to solve global challenges, and prepare the next generation of leaders.

We are adapting novel technologies to enhance our classrooms, providing transformative student learning experiences, advancing research and scholarship across disciplines, and fostering resilient communities on and off campus, locally and globally.
