Letter from the Dean

Dear Friends of the College,

It is an exciting time to be a part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

During the 2006-2007 academic year, the College's Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) engaged in a series of discussions about the College’s identity and the experiences the College offers its students, the role of the College’s core curriculum in shaping the College’s identity, and better ways to offer students a premier liberal arts college experience within the context of Christian humanism and the Augustinian tradition.

The principle motivation behind these discussions was a desire to improve and, quite simply, to do what it is that we do better: the College is very good now, but what things could we as a College be doing better to offer all of our students a premier liberal arts college experience as articulated above?

As a result of these discussions, a series of faculty focus groups were held to gather broader faculty input on the topics addressed. More than 50 faculty members participated in the focus groups, and a comprehensive report was written about them.

Now, I am in the process of meeting with all of the College's faculty to discuss the results of the faculty focus groups and our "next steps" moving forward. We plan to implement many of the wonderful ideas described in the focus group report in the months ahead. Look to future issues of Inside A&S for more information.

And in this issue of the College's monthly e-newsletter, Inside A&S, you'll find stories about many College initiatives, including how the Department of Humanities took steps to improve the existence of student and faculty lounge space, a lunch-and-learn event sponsored by the College's internships office, and much more.

Be sure to check out the College's Web site, too, for more useful information.

Thank you for continuing to read Inside A&S. We appreciate your continued interest in the life of the College, and, as always, we welcome your feedback.

Sincerely,


Rev. Kail C. Ellis, O.S.A., Ph.D.
Dean of the College

Humanities Department Creates Student-Faculty Lounge in its SAC Office Suite

The Humanities Department, whose office suite is located on the third floor of the St. Augustine Center for the Liberal Arts, underwent extensive renovations during the summer months.

What was once dedicated office space -- with little room left over for a student lounge -- has now become an innovative, functional, and comfortable shared space where the administrative needs of the office are met and the urgent need for increased student-faculty gathering space is fulfilled.

A pale green-colored wall anchors the student-faculty lounge space and serves as the room's focal point, and a new comfortable couch, coffee table, end tables, and lamps help frame the space and provide an area for students and faculty to sit, talk, and even enjoy a cup of coffee. The open floor plan allows for good traffic flow and creates an airy, relaxed atmosphere.

The students, faculty, and staff of the Humanities Department welcome you to stop by to see the space for yourself. The Humanities Department is located in on the third floor of SAC.

College Offers Students, Faculty, and Staff Access to Mideastwire.com

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is pleased to offer to its students, faculty, and staff access to Mideastwire.com, an Internet-based news service that employs a team of translators from around the region to gather important stories from and about the Middle East. Its core product is a daily e-mail newsletter to English speaking subscribers that aggregates key English language stories about the Middle East together with translated Arabic and Persian stories that appear via the print, radio, and television media of the region. 

While there are now more than 500 Arabic and Persian news outlets reporting stories from and about the Middle East, there is currently no affordable means for English speakers to gain access to much of this content. As a result, the overwhelming majority of English speaking businesspersons, students, journalists, and others who have an interest in the affairs of the region are largely unaware of what the Middle East media is covering and how they are covering these stories.

Mideastwire.com aims to close this gap by offering a daily e-mail newsletter of concise, translated briefs covering some of the key political, cultural, economic, and opinion pieces appearing in the media of the 22 Arab countries, Iran, and the Arab Diaspora.

For more information, please contact Mideastwire.com. To receive the daily email newsletter in English, please send an e-mail to this address -- info@mideastwire.com -- for immediate activation.
