College of Liberal Arts Dean Richard Deeg addresses our students, alumni, faculty and staff on the crucial topics of diversity, race and anti-bias.

Today (Oct. 26), the college will host this semester’s signature event, the Rise in Anti-Asian Sentiments: Racism, Xenophobia & COVID-19. Please join us for this virtual, interactive discussion and come back the next two days as we continue these crucial, critical talks about issues you or your classmates may be facing right now.

Every year, the College of Liberal Arts recognizes five outstanding members of our teaching faculty with the Teaching Awards. The ceremony, held over everyone’s favorite video conferencing app, looked a little different this year, but the faculty’s accomplishments were as impressive as ever. Perhaps even more so given the extraordinary conditions they had to overcome.

It’s with a heavy heart that the College of Liberal Arts announces we have lost one of our own. Intellectual Heritage Assistant Professor Frank Leib will be dearly missed by our entire community. The college extends its deepest sympathies to his friends and family.

Each summer, the College of Liberal Arts’ Intellectual Heritage program takes its core text seminar abroad, giving dozens of students a mind and horizon-opening learning experience that lasts with them long after the monthlong trip ends.
