UPDATE

  • Commitment of funds—A 2.5 million dollar investment has been made for three new multidisciplinary degree programs and three new complex courses. Determining just what these programs and courses look like will be in your hands as the faculty, and a faculty steering committee will welcome your proposals. The Provost’s Office is charged to implement this recommendation beginning this year, under the direction of Associate Provost Phil Hanlon.
