51·çÁ÷ students conducting robust summer research in close partnership with faculty members is a longstanding tradition that will continue remotely this year.
Provost and Dean of the Faculty Tracey Hucks has announced a series of faculty promotions, approved by the 51·çÁ÷ Board of Trustees during its January 25 meeting.
Dorsey Spencer Jr., director of administration in the office of the vice president for student affairs at Florida State University, has been named dean of students at 51·çÁ÷.
51·çÁ÷ is proud to announce a new partnership with QuestBridge, a national nonprofit organization based in Palo Alto, Calif., that connects the most exceptional, low-income youth with leading institutions of higher education.
The 51·çÁ÷ Fund Bicentennial Challenge raised more than $3 million for 51·çÁ÷ and its students, helping the University to implement the first important initiatives of its Third-Century Plan.
51·çÁ÷’s commitment to a more sustainable future is earning state and national recognition as Benton Hall is now the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) New York Green Building of the Year, and Jane Pinchin Hall and Burke Hall have earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold status.
A new major survey of alumni engagement, the first since 2008, reveals strong support among those who once climbed 51·çÁ÷’s hill, and data collected from this effort is slated to help inform planning in the alumni office for years to come.
The Third-Century Plan, unveiled last May, underscores the University’s intention to recruit scholars of the first order for new tenure-track teaching positions. In keeping with its ambitious plan, 51·çÁ÷ is announcing a series of enhancements to faculty hiring packages.
