Responsiveness

LAS prides itself on listening to its constituents. From informal feedback college advisors collect from advisees to formal departmental reviews and alumni surveys, the College receives a wealth of feedback. The College supports various committees and organizations to sustain its feedback. These include the LAS Student Council, the Faculty Representative Assembly, the LAS Chairs Cabinet, and the Dean's Advisory Council. LAS Faculty serve on eight standing committees, including Academic Standards and Admissions, Curriculum, Diversity, and Faculty Development.

  • Works to develop more articulation agreements with community colleges
