Dear Colleagues,
We are in the final two weeks of the semester, with the last scheduled day of classes next Thursday, 4 May. MA portfolio defenses are taking place this week; thank you to all participating in these important events.
At its meeting last week, the AC decided that, since there is no pressing business, next week’s department meeting can be canceled. We hope, instead, you will be able to make it to the pre-commencement celebration at Scripps Cottage at 10 am on Friday 12 May.
For those interested in curricular proposals, the university has just released an updated Curriculum Guide for the upcoming year:
