Tuesday’s mass murder in Atlanta returns us to terrible, familiar ground, as we try again to make sense of violence, and calm the terror that was already building within an entire cultural community.

This is the National Society of Black Engineers Week, with festivities taking place all week.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has signed legislation that approves �鶹��Ƶ for the highest level of institutional management autonomy granted to Virginia public colleges and universities, a milestone achievement for �鶹��Ƶ, the state’s youngest public research institution.

�鶹��Ƶ was named a “Voter Friendly Campus” as the result of a campus-wide strategy to increase voter turnout. �鶹��Ƶ is one of more than 231 colleges and universities across 37 states and the District of Columbia to earn this designation.

In the next installment of the Office of the Provost’s �鶹��Ƶ Vision Series, �鶹��Ƶ epidemiologist Amira Roess will address “COVID-19: A Vision for Future Response.”

�鶹��Ƶ's Employee of the Month program is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month of highlighting the achievements of �鶹��Ƶ’s staff. The program has recognized the hard work of 360 �鶹��Ƶ employees since its inception in 1991.

There is one more week to give your feedback for the recommendations from the Anti-Racism and Inclusive Excellence Task Force. The feedback form is open through close of business Friday, March 19.
