Hello, Arts and Sciences Alumni and Friends!
We are so pleased to connect with you via this newsletter, and happy to share that there is much to celebrate in the College of Arts and Sciences!
Despite the nationwide decline in numbers of high school graduates and people pursuing bachelor’s degrees, our freshman enrollment is up for the third year in a row!
Our faculty members continue to make transformative discoveries, impact communities, and train future professionals. Our internationally recognized research enterprises, like the J.R. Macdonald Physics Laboratory and Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research program, continue to earn federal support. And we are providing more applied learning experiences than ever before to give our students an edge in their fields.
Lastly, philanthropic investment in our students and programs continues to grow as supporters recognize the importance of training the next generation to think critically, adapt to change, and lead responsibly. We thank all of you who make a gift, large or small, and support our students and mission in various ways including through advocacy and volunteerism.
We invite you to peruse our news below to see a few ways our college—and all who support it—are positively impacting students, Kansas and the world.
