ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ continues its position of national prominence in the 2010 “America’s Best Colleges” rankings released Aug. 20 by US News & World Report. Again this year, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ is named by the magazine as the top “up-and-coming” university in the nation on a list of 77 schools that are “leading the pack in improvements and innovative changes.” And in a new US News ranking, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ is ranked among the nation’s top schools for its strong faculty commitment to undergraduate teaching.

Nine young alums have accepted an invitation from President Leo M. Lambert to joing the university's Young Alumni Council, which seeks to strengthen ties between ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and graduates of the past decade.

President Leo M. Lambert and senior staff members previewed the 2009-2010 academic year on Aug. 14 for university employees. In two separate meetings, staff provided a summary of recent work and initiatives planned for the coming months.
