Dear College of Arts and Sciences community,Every August, I find myself looking forward to the beginning of a new academic year. The start of the academic year also gives me an opportunity to reflect on what makes this college so special. The College of Arts and Sciences is, in many ways, the academic heart of Illinois State University. In just two weeks, we will welcome our faculty and students back to campus to begin another academic year together. With gratitude,Dr. Heather DillawayDean, College of Arts and SciencesRead more stories from the College of Arts and Sciences at News.IllinoisState.edu/Unit/College-Arts-Sciences and follow the college on Facebook and Instagram.
