This month marks the opening of the new Science Teaching and Student Services building (STSS) overlooking the Mississippi River on the east bank of the Twin Cities campus. Designed by renowned architect and University of Minnesota alumnus Bill Pedersen, this magnificent facility helps to reestablish the University's historical connection to the river and offers a strong complement to the iconic Weisman Art Museum. More importantly, it demonstrates our commitment to undergraduate science, engineering, and mathematics education and will serve as a hub of activity for thousands of students this fall alone!

To celebrate the official opening of STSS, I invite you to join University and student leaders for a ribbon cutting and refreshments Tuesday, August 24, at 3 p.m. Following a brief ceremony, you are welcome to tour the new facility and see the future of student services and state-of-the-art active learning classrooms. I hope to see you there!
