Dos subvenciones del Fondo de Iniciativa Tecnológica y de Investigación de Arizona ayudarán a la universidad a proporcionar apoyo para la planificación universitaria a más familias del sur de Arizona, especialmente a aquellas procedentes de comunidades bilingües y desatendidas.

Two grants from Arizona's Technology and Research Initiative Fund will help the university provide college-planning support to more Southern Arizona families, especially those in bilingual and underserved communities.

The Ford Foundation has awarded UArizona $1.18 million to to create a community-led archive that offers a more comprehensive portrayal of the U.S.-Mexico border.

A new report indicates that startups and business generated through Tech Launch Arizona supported over 2,500 jobs and $561 million in labor income between fiscal years 2017 and 2021.

Construction has begun on a tall, hangar-like "high bay" facility, where researchers can build and test hardware for experiments and missions designed to fly at extremely high altitudes sometimes referred to as the "edge of space."

Agreeing to send a spacecraft to an asteroid to bring back a sample was no easy decision, Dante Lauretta, the leader of NASA's UArizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission, told graduates. They, too, will face daunting opportunities in their careers, he said – and they should say yes.

UArizona astrophysicists Feryal Özel and Dimitrios Psaltis identified Sagittarius A* as an ideal target black hole more than 20 years ago. They call it a "Goldilocks black hole," with an environment "just right" for capturing an image.

Snapping an image of a black hole is just the beginning, says researcher Chi-Kwan "CK" Chan. To really understand the image, it must be compared with black hole simulations. UArizona worked with partners to create the world's largest simulation library.
