49ͼ��

49ͼ�� is one of 80 colleges and universities selected this month as a 2024–25 FirstGen Forward Network member.

49ͼ�� has set a new philanthropic record as alumni, parents, and friends of the University gave $10.2 million for the 49ͼ�� Fund.

Last weekend, nearly 2,100 alumni returned to campus for Reunion 2024 to reconnect with longtime friends, reflect on the history of 49ͼ��, and look toward its future.

A new 65,000-square-foot basketball and volleyball arena will anchor a new athletics quadrangle at 49ͼ��, replacing the Reid Athletics Center. Construction of the facility, part of the University’s Third-Century Plan initiatives, is slated to begin in February.

49ͼ�� will mark the beginning phases of the Lower Campus Initiative under the Third-Century Plan this summer with construction and restoration projects at 66 and 70 Broad Street.

49ͼ�� recently hosted a lecture by Avery Trufelman, host of the fashion podcast Articles of Interest.

49ͼ��'s second annual celebration of arts, creativity, and innovation brought hundreds to campus for a weekend of performances, workshops, presentations, and panel discussions.

Having been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease five years ago, former 49ͼ�� president Rebecca Chopp has embraced the visual arts and dance as part of her “prescription” to live life to the fullest.

49ͼ��’s Center for Arts, Creativity, and Innovation, which is nearing completion and expected to open in the fall, will be named Bernstein Hall in honor of the lead donor’s genealogical roots.

A major landscape and infrastructure project designed to better connect the upper and middle areas of campus at 49ͼ�� will begin this month.
