Along the way, you’ll be guided by faculty mentors and our unique ALEX program, a coordinated advising network tailored for each student’s academic success, career preparation, experiential learning, and personal growth.
Say What You Mean
What good is having a great idea if you can’t communicate it effectively? A central goal of our liberal arts education is helping you express yourself in a clear, organized, and persuasive way.
New Ideas; New Perspectives
Learning takes place when you expand your perspectives by encountering new ideas, gaining new experiences and opportunities, and interacting with people from different backgrounds.
