Welcome to the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters (CASL). As the Dean, I am thrilled to lead this dynamic community of students, scholars, educators, and staff, all committed to fostering excellence in education, innovation, and discovery. Our diverse team is dedicated to igniting intellectual curiosity, nurturing creativity, advancing scholarship, and ultimately enhancing the educational journey of our students at all academic levels. Our culture is grounded on the principles of inclusivity, respect, and the creation of welcoming environments that uplift everyone – faculty, staff, and students alike.
