The honor, to be presented virtually this month, recognizes the university's excellence in support of HACU's mission to champion Hispanic success in higher education.

On Oct. 12, the university hopes to resume in-person instruction for classes of 30 or fewer students that were designated as in-person courses at the time of registration.

Arizona's Science, Engineering and Math Scholars program supports students pursuing a STEM degree, focusing on those who are underrepresented in STEM.

The number of positive test results on campus decreased following a 14-day shelter-in-place recommendation. The university will continue to offer most classes in an online format through at least Oct. 5

While the campus has seen a spike in cases over the last few weeks, Friday's positivity rate was down from last week, and no new students were admitted to isolation housing over the weekend.

The recommendation applies to dorms, fraternities, sororities and apartment complexes in areas where there has been increased COVID-19 transmission.

Dr. Theresa Cullen, director of the Pima County Health Department, said the county, university and other partners are working together on a "layered approach" to managing COVID-19.

The partnership expands the University of Arizona's Global Microcampus Network to include over 490 WeWork locations in 80 cities and 37 countries.

The new institutes will help people prepare for a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable and socially just world through research, education and real-world implementation.
