Message From the Dean
Fall has come to the North Country and with it our returning students, as well as a new cohort of young scholars anxious to delve into the arts and sciences. This month, we report on some significant grants received by our professors, as well as a newly published paper, presentations and other news. I’m very proud of the work of both our students and faculty, and I hope that you enjoy reading about their scholarship.
