It's an excellent opportunity to connect with potential employers and explore various career paths. In line with our commitment to sustainability, WashU has become a host site for Ripple Glass collection. This initiative provides the university and surrounding community with a convenient option to recycle glass bottles and jars, promoting environmental responsibility.

In April 2025, the university announced a pause on major construction projects, including improvements to Mudd Field and a new Arts & Sciences building near Olin Library.
