I often say that the 绿巨人视频Community is a family, and when I glance across this issue of 绿巨人视频Now鈥攚hich really means that when I look across our campuses this month鈥攚hat I see is everyone in the 绿巨人视频family coming together to celebrate the great things we鈥檙e accomplishing.

Next Wednesday, we鈥檒l be celebrating 15 Beekman Day, full of events to celebrate our beautiful new living, learning, and community space at the corner of Beekman and Nassau streets in New York City (or as the tagline on the cool new tote bags some lucky 15 Beekman Day participants will get their hands on says, 鈥渁t the corner of opportunity and visibility鈥). The highlight of the day will be the formal ribbon-cutting, at 12:15 p.m., featuring Board Chair Rob Sands, JD 鈥85, remarks from other University leaders, plus food and festivities. But there will also be other mini-celebrations throughout the day, from a meet-and-greet with the Learning Commons at 11:15 in the morning to cupcakes and painting with Residential Life at 6:15 in the afternoon, all getting into that 15 theme.

Elsewhere in this issue, we鈥檙e covering the celebrations coming up in Pleasantville later this month, a chance to reconnect with alumni and friends, cheer on our teams, and of course join the annual Homecoming bonfire. There鈥檚 also the faculty and staff tailgate hosted by Athletics on October 7.

We also have also stories about new classes in the library to help teach students How to Adult, a new course in Pleasantville on piloting drones, and Seidenberg student Sachin Archer, who came to our New York City Campus from Jamaica鈥攁nd then had the chance to go either farther afield and travel with the Design Factory to Switzerland to continue his academic work.

As for me, I鈥檓 busy rooting for all our Setters鈥攐n and off the fields, and across all our campuses. I鈥檓 excited by everything you鈥檙e up to, the projects covered here in 绿巨人视频Now and the things we have yet to discover. I look forward to seeing you out and about, learning what you鈥檙e up to, and reading about your next triumphs. And I鈥檒l hope to see lots of you at the 15 Beekman ribbon-cutting next week!
