Special impact report from the Dean

My wife and I choose to support the students in Letters & Science because we believe that a diverse and challenging curriculum can lead students to great pathways in life. A college education should prepare you for so much more than your first job. It should prepare you for life, wherever life may lead you. The College of Letters & Science delivers on that promise, and we want everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, to experience the opportunities afforded by an L&S education.
