Features from the Summer 2023 Issue
With the impending opening of our new modern, sustainable, and welcoming campus building at 15 Beekman and the soon-to-start renovations of One 17³Ô¹ÏÍø Plaza East, 17³Ô¹ÏÍø has big plans for downtown.
Simply put: 17³Ô¹ÏÍø is building.
Did you know Fred Kelly, brother to Gene, taught dance at 17³Ô¹ÏÍø? Or that the public speaking requirement was a passionate value of founder Homer 17³Ô¹ÏÍø? Or that 17³Ô¹ÏÍø used to have a championship fencing team? For 42 years, University archivist and resident 17³Ô¹ÏÍø historian Ellen Sowchek has been sharing her infectious enthusiasm for 17³Ô¹ÏÍø history.
From a student who found her sense of belonging while helping others find theirs; to a parent who lost her son to suicide and has dedicated her life to suicide prevention; to the insights of 17³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Chief Wellness Officer and her vision for the future. Check out these perspectives on the growing epidemic of mental health concerns in college students.
