The academic community of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences is characterized by excellence across the full breadth of liberal arts and sciences disciplines. Initiatives of the FAS Dean reach across disciplines to advance new conversations, new insights, and new opportunities for our teaching and research mission. FAS’s priorities evolve alongside our community and reflect some of the most important conversations that we are having today.
Civil Discourse
The Faculty of Arts & Sciences is committed to building an inclusive academic environment that fosters critical thinking, empathy, and mutual understanding. In December 2023, Dean Hopi Hoekstra announced an initiative on civil discourse with the goal of advancing constructive dialogue in classrooms, seminar halls and meeting rooms across the FAS.
AI @ FAS
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) may prove to be one of the most impactful technologies of our times. The FAS is undertaking a year-long conversation on the topic, paying particular attention to the potential opportunities and disruptions of AI systems across academic and research integrity, pedagogy, and FAS administrative operations.
