Photo GalleryĬlass of 2023 Commencement week highlights The Class of 2023 celebrated their commencement Monday, first with a Yale-wide ceremony at the historic Old Campus with Yale College and a dozen graduate and professional schools, and then an afternoon ceremony at Kroon Courtyard during which they received their degrees from YSE faculty, participated in a pinning ceremony, and attended a luncheon. “My point is not that we should be pessimistic about making a difference (as soon as possible) to heal the planet, ecosystems, society, and institutions - quite the opposite,” Burke said “Rather, we need to understand and embrace the idea that worthwhile change of complex systems requires commitment, persistence, and a sense of urgency, and at the same time, a deep and wise application of strategy and patience. But addressing these challenges will take determination and sensitivity. The planet is at a threshold for climate change, biodiversity loss, and for environmental injustices, she noted. Still, we must stick with it, with both a sense of purpose and possibility, and one of patience, if we are to address this urgent and existential challenge,” Burke said. On top of planetary inertia, there’s a slow rate of societal understanding, willingness to change, then effecting change through policy and technological developments. Think of it, 150 years of greenhouse gas emissions and the planet has now begun to discernably change, like a large heavy ball just starting to roll downhill, more and more rapidly, and it is very difficult to change that trajectory, even with rapid action. But the planet changes slowly, with tremendous inertia, and complex feedback loops related to physics, chemistry, and biology of CO 2 and temperature as they interact with the atmosphere, ocean, and ecosystem - feedback loops that are hard to reverse. “We want to solve climate change - urgently. The collection, purchased at auction by the Library of Virginia Foundation in 2009, complements some of the Library's several Carneal & Johnston architectural drawings and plans related to state government buildings.Full coverage of Commencement 2023, including photo gallery, graduate spotlights, and the livestream video. Some of the most notable structures represented in the collection include First Virginia Regiment Armory (1913), the Richmond Dairy (1914), the Colonial Theater (1919-1920), the Virginia State Office Building (1922-1923), and various structures on the campuses of Richmond College (now the University of Richmond) and Virginia Military Institute. Responsible for more than 1,300 buildings, Carneal and Johnston practiced in a wide range of project types, from the mundane to the monumental. The firm went on to become one of the most prolific and long-established architectural practices in the state and by 1950 had helped to mold the architectural environment of central Virginia, especially Richmond. (1881-1958) and James Markam Ambler Johnston (1885-1974) began their firm about 1908 after spending a year working independently while sharing office space. The Carneal & Johnston digital collection consists of 215 images created from glass-plate negatives documenting some of the many designs created by the Richmond architectural firm, including interior and exterior views of various commercial buildings and private residences designed by the firm.
