At the August A&F Hybrid Town Hall, Dr. Bolton kicked off the start of 2024-2025 academic year with an update on the Institute Strategic Plan including key areas of focus for A&F. Several A&F leaders shared how their teams are leading by example and cultivating wellbeing.

In August, the Office of Sustainability submitted campus energy efficiency data to the City of Atlanta for the first time in compliance with the city’s Commercial Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance, which requires public reporting of energy consumption in buildings over 25,000 square feet.

The voluntary decision to participate this year aims to increase data transparency and support energy efficiency initiatives on and off campus.
