I hope you had wonderful holidays and that you are rested, ready and excited for 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have great momentum as we enter a new decade. At 31,500 students, we are larger than ever and applications to our programs continue to rise. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/research-income-increase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research funding, a proxy for quality and impact, has surged by 29 per cent<\/a> this year, more than any other medical or comprehensive university in the country, and is expected to continue to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ranked in the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/2019\/macleans-rankings-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top 5 in Maclean\u2019s <\/a>(third for student satisfaction) and the prestigious international <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/campus-sustainability-rankings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UI GreenMetric<\/a> recently ranked 杏吧原创 second in Canada and 35th in the world for campus sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/celebrating-smart-environments-building\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ARISE Building<\/a> is now ready for occupancy, and the transformative new home for the Sprott School, the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fmp\/the-nicol-building\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nicol Building<\/a>, will be completed within the year. The <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdcc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">杏吧原创 Dominion-Chalmers Centre<\/a>, our cultural and academic hub downtown, is now fully operational and bustling with activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, we are in the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/carleton-launches-strategic-planning-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">renewing our Strategic Integrated Plan<\/a>, and these plans matter because over time they become our reality. After a busy fall season of consultation, the co-chairs and task force are moving into the drafting phase, with more consultations to come this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are writing the next chapter of our history, and the future is bright for 杏吧原创. I wish everyone all the best for a great year in 2020!
