Institutions of higher learning are environments where new ideas, visions, and discoveries are cultivated. These pursuits are enriched through diversity of thought and perspective in an environment where we strive for a spirit of pluralism.

Unfortunately, universities can be the target for attacks by those who may feel threatened by this important work. The conference responds to this challenge and contribute to discussions on academic freedom and the principles of freedom of expression.

From May 6-12, the Sustainability Office will be hosting the second-annual campus-wide BioBlitz: a community-led effort to identify and record species across campus. Whether you are a biodiversity novice, enthusiast, or expert, there are ways for everyone to get involved. We welcome all members of the campus community – students, staff, faculty, family, and friends – to join us!
