State of the College community gathering celebrates new faces, initiatives
This fall, the College of Natural Sciences (CNS) welcomed 69 new faculty and nine new staff members to its 15 departments and schools. Some are brand-new to the university, and some are assuming new roles.
The State of the College event on September 16 gives new and returning members of the college community an opportunity to celebrate recent achievements, to hear from the Dean about collective goals and initiatives for the current academic year and beyond, and to share food, drink, and social time with colleagues. All staff, faculty, postdocs, and graduate students are invited to attend.
New faculty and staff are also invited to have their portraits made by filling out this project request form.
The 747 faculty members at CNS teach 7,450 undergraduate students and 983 graduate students, with over 600 staff members working to keep everything running smoothly for 33 bachelor’s degree programs, 39 different masters and PhD programs, and associate degrees in six areas.
We’re so pleased to have the diverse perspectives and skills of these new additions to our sprawling natural sciences community, a hub of research and learning.
