¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s admission team has put the University’s Plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into bold action, with impressive results.

During its spring meeting, the ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ Board of Trustees approved a series of appointments to endowed professorships, effective July 1, 2021.

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s administration and faculty are drawing on national best practices and creating their own innovative approaches to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in tenure-stream hiring.  

Laura Jack, vice president for communications, will serve as acting CDO, providing coordination and oversight for DEI initiatives while the search for a permanent hire continues.

In its first year, ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s no-loan initiative awarded more than $1.5 million to students.

Daniel Benton ’80, P’10, H’10 has secured his place as ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s most generous benefactor, making a $25 million gift in support of the University’s Middle Campus Plan for Arts, Creativity, and Innovation and other elements within The Third-Century Plan.

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ announced the creation of two endowed faculty chairs that will support teaching and research in areas important to The Third-Century Plan.

Filmmaker Julie Cohen ’86 has found joy in documenting the lives of women, making her an ideal guest speaker during ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebration of coeducation.

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ received an all-time record number of applications for admission, shattering all previous records in the history of this two-century old liberal arts college. 

Thursday, Dec. 10, 2020, provided a rare opportunity to celebrate in a challenging year. On that evening, 324 early decision applicants became the inaugural members of the ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ Class of 2025.
