¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ is featuring a variety of photos every month to highlight the exceptional learning, work and activities of students, faculty and staff.
January 2026 was an exciting (and cold) month for ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ. Winter Term kicked off with new HealthEU courses and Burst the Bubble sessions, while the university announced a new full-time law program in Charlotte. The month was capped off by a snowstorm that closed the university for two days, but brought the community out for some winter fun.
View some of the most impactful moments of the past month through the eyes of staff in the Office of University Communications.
