Message From the DeanBienvenidos:
I am glad to see you back. I hope you had a productive summer and you are ready for a challenging but gratifying year. We continue to be a university of choice with 4,100 new first-year students attending this fall, as well as a three percent spike in transfer students who have moved into our upper division courses. Along with attracting more students over the last twelve months, the College has set records in enrollment targets achieved, classes taught, fellowships awarded, books and articles published, donor gifts received, and students graduated.
Over the summer the College, under the leadership of Assistant Dean Michael Blazey, orchestrated a major set of office moves that have affected approximately eight departments. We appreciate the patience of our faculty to help make this move a positive experience in an atmosphere of scarce space.
For this year, while we will continue to push for our goals to provide valued degrees and to enrich the teacher/scholar model, we will establish the College's identity by organizing our efforts within the thematic vision: The World is our College. You will hear more about this vision today and throughout the year as we work together to define and implement this theme. For now, let me say that our vision will operate in concert with the President's goal of internationalizing the university. In the College of Liberal Arts, we will direct our teaching, research, and special events toward a global perspective and toward applied research in our local, national, and international communities.
Our goals are ambitious, but our prospects are exciting. We look forward to working with everyone to achieve these goals.
¡Venceremos!
