IS is led by the Vice Provost/CIO and includes the University Library, Academic Technology, Information Technology, and Information Security. The Learning Commons reflects the connection to the University’s Mission history and the history of Santa Clara Valley. Two of the building’s three sections are visually similar to the Mission-style buildings seen on the rest of the Santa Clara University campus, clad in plaster, tile, and wood. The third section reflects a more contemporary architectural expression, featuring copper roofing and a stepped-back geometry. The saw-toothed roof and clerestory windows pay homage to the history of the Santa Clara Valley, evoking both the canneries of its agricultural heyday in the early twentieth century and the engineering facilities from the early days of the Silicon Valley revolution.

He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires.

  • 2014 WASC Interim Report
    July 11, 2014 Michael Engh President Santa Clara University 500 El Camino Real Santa Clara, California 950553-0015 Dear President Engh: At its meeting via teleconference on July 10, 2014, a panel of the Interim Report Committee considered the report of Santa Clara University (SCU) submitted on March 1, 2014, along with the supporting documents which accompanied it. The members appreciated the opportunity to discuss the interim report with your colleagues: Dennis Jacobs, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs; Diane Jonte-Pace, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs; and Ed Ryan, Vice Provost for Planning and Institutional Effectiveness and ALO. The discussion was informative and helped the panelists to understand more clearly SCU’s responses to the Commission Action Letter dated July 5, 2011 following the EER Visit of February 7-9, 2011. That Commission letter asked the institution to address four issues related to the activities of the institution: (1) promoting a community of inclusive excellence; (2) integrating the Jesuit School of Theology (JST) into the life of SCU; (3) refining and expanding assessment and program review; and (4) enhancing shared governance and communication. The panel commended SCU for an exemplary report. It was well-organized, thoughtfully balanced between description and analysis, amply supported by appropriate evidence, and characterized by a forthright and candid perspective. There was significant evidence of progress in each of the areas, even as the institution was grappling with a significant campus event. The conversation with your colleagues complemented and enhanced the laudable work presented in the report itself. With respect to promoting a community of inclusive excellence, the panel found that the specific acts of establishing an Office for Diversity and Inclusion and creating a comprehensive diversity dashboard are potent evidence of the institution’s intent to foster inclusion.

A superbloom a decade in the making. What caused it? A wet winter sparked unprecedented growth, says Justen Whittall, an associate professor of biology who closely studies California’s native plants and trends in evolution of flowers’ colors. The superbloom started in January in the deserts east of San Diego, then moved north and east. After a five-year drought, Mother Nature gave California the gift of brilliant bouquets of bright orange poppies, white dune evening primroses, purple sand verbenas, and other wildflowers. But not every place was so blessed. “A large portion of California has been overgrazed by cows or developed,” Whittall notes. “There’s not going to be a superbloom in those locations.” Instead, look for little pockets of refugia: hiding places for native plants that haven’t been eaten, overrun, or built over. And savor this spot in the remote Carrizo Plain National Monument—which this spring was put under executive order review, potentially opening it up to oil drilling and mining.
