To say that College of Arts and Science students and graduates are talented is a vast understatement. These future and current leaders are securing Fulbright Scholarships (nine from A&S alone), conducting brain cancer research, producing powerful films, winning creative writing awards, and so much more. And, they’re having fun while doing it. These are but a few of the exceptional people who are living our mission: to address the most enduring challenges of our time and make a positive impact on the world. I am immensely proud of this young community and how they are expanding knowledge and understanding across the arts and the sciences.
My best,
