Knight Campus FAQs

I am thrilled to welcome everyone for the start of the fall term. For me, this is an incredibly energizing time of year with undergraduate students back on campus, a new cohort of grad students taking part in Impact Week, and bustling common spaces, and I’m inspired by our continued growth and evolution.

Expanding our Impact

March 2023

At the Knight Campus, “impact” is more than just a buzzword. It is literally written into our name and our vision statement.

Congrats, Knight Campus Graduates

June 2022

Congratulations, Knight Campus Graduates!

It’s got a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? It’s a phrase you’re going to be hearing more and more in the coming years as growing numbers of students graduate from our programs and go on to make an impact on society.

A Fast and Furious Few Months

November 2021

Wow, what a fast and furious few months it’s been at the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. Since our last quarterly update, we’ve announced a second epic gift, launched the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, enrolled a full cohort of bioengineering students, welcomed many other new faces to the community, and celebrated some tremendous wins by our early-career faculty.

Face to Face with our Mission

June 2021

With spring term behind us and vaccines in the arms of so many, we’re emerging from the pandemic to see each other in-person and to work side-by-side, in many cases as new colleagues. In fact, I’ve felt no greater joy over the last few months than simply to see colleagues in person, to share both work and personal conversations and discuss the ever growing Knight Campus activities.

Knight Campus Turns Challenges into Success

March 2021

In what has become a trademark of the Knight Campus, our team members turned challenges of the last 12 months into strengths, deepening relationships and forging new academic, research and entrepreneurial opportunities. Our team’s dedication and hard work has positioned us to build on our considerable momentum into this year and beyond.

Breathing Life into an Amazing Building

October 2020

We’ve long looked forward to moving into the first building of the Knight Campus, an iconic, best- in-class research and education facility.  We didn’t expect to do so under skies darkened by smoke, walking across sidewalks covered with ash amid a global pandemic.

And yet through it all, Knight Campus faculty, staff, and students are breathing life into our amazing building, embodying the spirit of the Knight Campus as they overcome unexpected adversity together.

We Must Come Together to Overcome Any and All Forms of Racism

The following message was emailed to Knight Campus staff, faculty, affiliates and students.

I’m sure the most recent incidents proving that racism continues to exist and tear at the fabric of our society are weighing on all of your minds as much as mine. Like you, I’m feeling anger, sadness, worry for friends, particularly those of color, and many other things but mostly I’m feeling a deep sense of frustration and my thoughts focus on what can I do or we do together to make a difference?
