Let's congratulate Dr. Tom Mariani, this year’s recipient of the Andy Tager Award for Excellence in Mentoring! Tom’s dedication to scientific inquiry into lung biology & his enduring effort to lift all boats with a rising tide made him the perfect fit for this award! Congrats!

It's International Literacy Day 2020! During the initial phase of COVID19, schools closed & education was disrupted for 62.3% of the world’s student population of 1.09B. Alternative methods help, but so many kids-teens don't have access to these vital resources. #ForTheKids #GCH

The U of R has received the 2020 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest & largest diversity-focused publication in higher ed. The U of R will be featured in their November 2020 issue. Way to go, @UofR!

This year's Shred Fest was a huge success! On August 7th, a total of 19,580 pounds of paper was collected, an increase of 3,680 from last year's event! Thanks to all the volunteers who gave their time in support of this important event!

It's #WhereToGoWednesday and we're honored to recommend Tasteful Connections Catering (https://www.tastefulconnections.com/)! We use them for our resident lunches and other special events, and they've always exceeded expectations! They're a locally owned small business, so show 'em some love!

Congratulations to all the new students moving in here at the @UofR this week! As you soar to new heights, be the change you want to see! Best of luck! Remember to wear your mask, socially distance, and stay safe! (University of Rochester photo / J. Adam Fenster)
