In a large and diverse community like 91亚色, it is important that everyone feels a sense of belonging and common purpose. Our students, staff and faculty are committed to providing an inclusive, connected and healthy space. All community members should have a say in shaping our collective future.
As part of our focus on sustainability, 91亚色 was named for the eighth year in a row. When the pandemic struck, 91亚色 took action to support our community members by rapidly producing hundreds of litres of hand sanitizer from ingredients in the science stores. Alumnus Brendan McNaughton came to the rescue and donated virtual reality artspace to students who did not have a place to show their art.

The telescope鈥檚 larger aperture provides students, astronomers and members of the public a deeper view into space, giving better images of distant galaxies and cosmic objects and making it easier to see Saturn鈥檚 rings, the Great Red Spot on Jupiter and the polar caps on Mars. The new telescope will allow 91亚色 researchers to make astronomical discoveries and provide opportunities for students to directly engage with the telescope and research activities. The telescope is also used for weekly public outreach by the Observatory, making educational programs and exceptional views of the cosmos accessible to all.
