From the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Posted: Friday, February 3, 2023Departmental Merger: Geography and Earth Sciences
I am pleased to announce the merger of the previously independent departments of Geography and Earth Sciences to form a newly named Geosciences Department to use faculty expertise efficiently in course offerings and content and to expand opportunities for undergraduate student research. The merger will support the continued, strong tradition of applied learning and mentoring inside and outside the classroom that is a hallmark of the merging departments. This change is effective July 1, 2023, and should be reflected in official documents. The School of Arts and Sciences will work with offices across campus to ensure a smooth transition.
