Happy June, everyone — 

Summer classes began this week, and much is happening on campus as we prepare to welcome students in the fall. The lower level of the Public Affairs Center will be closed for plumbing renovations, construction on the new Library Commons is set to begin, and work to improve campus-wide Wi-Fi is ongoing. You can read more below about these initiatives. Thanks to our teams that are hard at work to complete these important projects.
