"At a time when education is too often measured by efficiency and outcomes alone, we remain steadfast in the belief that the arts and humanities are at the heart of education. A poem can awaken empathy, a song can preserve history, a work of art can challenge injustice, and a philosophical essay can deepen our understanding of ourselves and one another."⁠
⁠
We are pleased to welcome the newly appointed Chair & Vice-Chair of the Arts and Humanities department, Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz () and Professor Randall Everett Allsup ().⁠ ⁠
⁠
🔗 Link-in-bio for their full welcome message.⁠
⁠
In an era where educational success is frequently assessed solely through metrics of efficiency and measurable results, we steadfastly advocate for the centrality of the arts and humanities within the educational framework. A poem has the power to cultivate empathy, a melody can encapsulate historical narratives, a piece of artwork may confront societal injustices, and a philosophical discourse can enhance our comprehension of self and community. ⁠
⁠
This message serves as an introduction from the newly appointed Chair and Vice-Chair of the Arts and Humanities department, Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz and Professor Randall Everett Allsup. ⁠

A&H Communal Dinner: On Courage

We hope you will join us for an evening of food and communal conversation.

The A&H Diversity, Community, and Social Justice Committee invites students, staff, and faculty to join a communal sit-down dinner centered on the theme of courage.

Food and drinks will be provided.

Participants are asked to bring an object, a song, or a reading that represents what courage means to them. During the dinner, guests will have the opportunity to share the story behind it.

This gathering is intended as an informal space for community building, reflection, and conversation around courage, belonging, and the values that define us as an academic community.

Space is limited to 20 participants.
