December News Update
|
In this issue |
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the December issue of CLASS, the College’s monthly update of news and events.
Occasionally we hear from alumni who write to express their gratitude for being included on the mailing list for this newsletter or to comment on a story. We also sometimes hear from alumni who voice their confusion over being considered a CLASS alumnus. We are not surprised to hear from some alums who are not aware of their connection to the College.
Unlike students who take degrees from professional schools, students in the liberal arts and social sciences tend to identify more strongly with a major department than the college. For CLASS alumni, the issue of identification is compounded by the history of the college itself. The current configuration of departments and even the acronym CLASS is only about ten years old. Therefore, with the exception of very recent graduates, alumni may have received their degrees in majors that were once located in the College of Humanities, Fine Arts and Communication, or the College of Social Sciences or even the College of Education.
Regardless of why they write, we are pleased to learn that we are connecting with alumni. We want them to feel a sense of pride in the College, especially the accomplishments of current faculty and students who are the focus of much of what we print. We also want to feature stories about our alumni that reflect positively on the College.
