Dear alumni and friends of CHASS,

The 2011-12 academic year is in full swing and the campus is bustling. An exceptional 511 students have joined us as the CHASS Class of 2015. They boast an average 4.25 GPA, 1161 SAT, and 37.5% top 10% class ranking – statistics that demonstrate that CHASS is a destination college for talented, top-ranked students.

Although we encountered many budgetary challenges over the past year, we’re operating at full throttle, providing opportunities for our students to learn, experience, and excel in and out of the classroom.

There’s a lot here for you as well. Keep up with what’s happening in and around the college through our website.Sign up for our blog to get news of our faculty and students’ intriguing scholarship and research as we post it. And of course we hope you like us on Facebook.

Don’t miss our event calendar. It’s full of upcoming lectures, readings, film screenings, and other events you don’t want to miss.

We want you to always feel like a welcome participant in the vibrant, intellectually stimulating life of the college.  I hope to see you around campus soon.

Sincerely,

Jeff Braden, Dean
