About "Rethinking the Academy"
The academy as we’ve come to know it operates through systems and structures that were developed many years ago. What would higher education look like if it were designed today, to meet the needs of our current society and students? The College of Arts & Sciences invites you to join us in rethinking the academy—an opportunity for CAS faculty to work collaboratively on the future of teaching, learning, and research in order to address global grand challenges. This initiative supports new course development and opportunities to imagine new structures and modes for teaching those courses.
Events and corresponding initiatives include "The Big Read," Humetrics Workshops, and Dean's Academy Fellows.
