As we kick off the new year with our Winter 2026 Unite newsletter, we have so much to share with our great community of friends and supporters. In this issue you’ll discover stories of university and community partnership, research excellence as we pave the way for new energy technologies and improve pandemic preparedness through AI, and the powerful impact your student support is making on their academic journeys and careers. Like our bright and talented Chancellor’s scholars—now 27 strong!—we’re starting this year with optimism and are deeply grateful for your partnership, commitment, and engagement throughout the year.
