Arts & Sciences Dean Kimberly Kempf-Leonard highlighted successes from the last academic year in her last “State of the College” address in the Humanities building Sept. 13. Those included tenured physics professors publishing in nine journals and departments receiving large grants and awards.
Regarding the grants, she said, “We tell our students that persuasive writing is important in all careers and we certainly are demonstrating that with our work.”
The dean said growing collaboration is foremost in the college’s teaching mission too. There are new majors crossing disciplines like Neuroscience, Sustainability, LGTBQ Health Certificate and the 3+3 Program with Brandeis Law School.
