A note from the Dean’s Office

Even though we just finished spring break and the redbud and tulip magnolias are blooming all over campus, Summer School is fast approaching. Department heads have prepared the lists of courses for this summer, so I thought I’d take a moment to write a reminder about summer school to the larger A&S community.
