Â鶹ÊÓƵ

On Friday, June 3, more than 20 participants from business schools across the country joined Â鶹ÊÓƵ marketing faculty for a day-long Marketing Research Symposium at the IDIA Classroom Space in Vernon Smith Hall, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Square. In addition to research talks, there was a panel discussion on digital transformation in retail featuring three industry experts.

Amarda Shehu, a professor in the department of computer science in the College of Engineering and Computing, is an inaugural founding co-director of the Center for Advancing Human-Machine Partnerships (CAHMP). She begins her new role with IDIA on May 25.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ officially welcomed a new era in Arlington with Wednesday’s groundbreaking ceremony for Fuse at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Square, which will serve as a technological hub in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor connecting students, faculty, industry and government.

To reflect its stature as the new centerpiece of the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Arlington Campus is being renamed Â鶹ÊÓƵ Square, an urban destination of learning, collaboration, and economic development.

There’s no shortage of creativity at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, and from March 11-13, students will accelerate innovation at the university’s annual hackathon. This year, two events will take place simultaneously: PatriotHacks, the signature hackathon focused on software programming, and HackOverFlow, a new hackathon with a focus on hardware engineering.

The meeting, which followed a walking tour of the construction site that will soon be transformed into a hub for the Innovation District in Arlington and the Innovation Pilot Space in Vernon Smith Hall, focused on ways that Â鶹ÊÓƵ could strategically fill the growing need for tech talent in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

Join us for a virtual outreach event to learn more about professional services and construction subcontracting opportunities on the Arlington Campus Expansion project.

Accelerate 2022, held on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Arlington Campus on Oct. 19-20, focused on showcasing up-and-coming startups throughout the greater Washington, D.C., region.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ will hold a public hearing to receive comments from interested parties regarding a Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) proposal received from Â鶹ÊÓƵ Innovation Partners, LLC (MIP). The proposal is regarding a ground lease to MIP for the purposes of developing the Gateway Building on land owned by the University on the Arlington, Virginia campus.
