 Hello, and welcome to the latest episode of our campus news podcast. Today is Monday, September 8, 2025, and we've got a lineup of stories highlighting recent developments at Washington University in St. Louis. First up, the university has been honored with the 2025 Excellence in Sustainability Award by the National Association of College and University Business Officers. This recognition celebrates WashU's commitment to environmental stewardship, particularly through its Arboretum and the transformation of the Danforth Campus landscape. The university's efforts have resulted in a diverse tree canopy and the integration of teaching and research into the Arboretum. In other sustainability news, WashU has expanded its support for electric vehicle users by installing 16 new Level 2 charging stations across the Danforth Campus. This addition brings the total number of charging ports to 39, reflecting the university's dedication to promoting sustainable transportation options. On the academic front, the university has launched the Food and Agriculture Research Mission, or FARM. This ambitious initiative aims to tackle global challenges in agricultural production, food distribution, and access to nutritious foods by developing practical, scalable solutions. In leadership news, David J. Gray has been appointed as the new executive vice chancellor for finance and chief financial officer at Washington University. His tenure began on April 7, 2025, and he brings a wealth of experience to the role. Turning to campus life, the university has been recognized as a 2025 Best Workplace for Commuters. This accolade highlights WashU's outstanding commuter benefits, which help employees save money, reduce stress, and contribute positively to the St. Louis and bi-state areas. In the realm of diversity and inclusion, the WashU Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program received the 2025 Barbara Ross-Lee, DO Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. This honor recognizes initiatives aimed at recruiting and mentoring residents who are underrepresented in medicine. Finally, looking ahead, Simone Biles, widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, is set to deliver the 2025 Commencement address at Washington University. This announcement has generated excitement across the campus community. That's all for today's episode. Stay tuned for more updates on campus events and developments. Thanks for listening!
