A note from the Dean’s Office
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
We have turned the corner on another semester and are heading towards another record graduation day. Our students’ successes are attributable to all the great things you have done with them – they are your successes, too. We have a lot to celebrate!

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.
