WashU continues to fund local and global research excellence through “Here and Next,” its strategic plan.

The Brown School has ushered in a new era of social policy marked by key initiatives in social policy education, research and community engagement.

WashU’s Digital Intelligence & Innovation Accelerator is making research, operations and data collection faster than ever to support faculty, students and staff.

How do we reason? When do we apply value judgments? Over the last year, WashU’s Civil Society Initiative has sponsored a range of classes, guest speakers and public events exploring the nature of responsible democratic citizenship.

WashU officially will launch the Program in Public Health & Society — including a major and minor —  at a celebratory event Monday, Oct. 21. The program, in Arts & Sciences, offers a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to public health.

Submissions are sought for the third annual William H. Danforth St. Louis Confluence Award. The deadline is Nov. 22.

A ceremonial groundbreaking for the first building on the Danforth Campus dedicated to Arts & Sciences took place Oct. 8. The building will house some of the school’s premier departments and programs and serve as a cornerstone for scholarly and educational partnerships with other schools and units across campus.

After two years of community input, WashU has streamlined the undergraduate academic integrity process. Dedicated staff in the Office of the Provost will help with student questions and faculty support, and an advisory board will review the overall process and serve on hearings.
