- Boulder art history students deepen learning through ‘object-based learning.’
James W.C. White, interim dean, sat down for a Q&A session about where the college has been, how it’s adapted to a rapidly evolving world, and how it’s preparing to help students meet the challenges of tomorrow, which will involve finding solutions to problems not yet known.- Five professors in the College of Arts and Sciences have won the 2018 Provost’s Faculty Achievement Award.
