Fall 2020 Welcome Message

Faculty & Staff From the Dean
Dear Colleagues: I am excited to welcome 1,486 new frosh and transfer students, 112 new graduate students, and 13 new faculty members to our division this year. They will be integral to our continued effort to support high-impact research and immersive student opportunities. Those experiences, especially in education, will be different this year, as fall instruction remains remote. Having myself taken up the challenge of online instruction to co-teach a course this fall, I’m awed by the creativity and determination of the faculty who pivoted to do this with a one-week notice in spring. When we are able to offer face-to-face instruction in the future, I’m confident that the innovations honed through our own immersion in 2020 will serve faculty and our students well.  In the spirit of the new academic year, I want to share some changes happening in our division:
