A Framework for Arts & Sciences

This plan outlines four goals for Arts & Sciences, represented by the four colored boxes in this diagram. We will focus attention in the coming decade on: recruiting and retaining an excellent faculty dedicated to teaching and scholarship; strengthening our graduate education; expanding the undergraduate experience; and developing communities through leadership and service among our faculty and students. Supporting these initiatives will be an ever-improving infrastructure (grey box in the chart).

Finally, each of these areas is circled by four themes that define Arts & Sciences’ mission: we place excellence at the forefront of everything we do; learning is our central focus; we seek diversity of thought and of people; and we recognize our context is the entire globe. These themes intersect each goal and are reflected in their strategies and actions.
