Message from the Dean:
For every national and global challenge facing us, there is a liberal arts researcher working toward a solution, from stabilizing the economy to strengthening national security and increasing international diplomacy.

In our new issue of Life & Letters, titled The American Citizen and Modern Democracy, we introduce you to the researchers and thought-leaders who shape national and international policy issues.

This is the final edition of a three-part series of Life & Letters issues designed to bring the college’s researchers to communities throughout the nation and the world. Last year, we introduced you to scholars whose work transcends hemispheric borders and ethnic boundaries in Gateway to the Americas and Changing U.S. Demographics (Winter 2007-08). Earlier this year, you met the researchers who explore our time here on earth in The Human Condition (Winter 2008-09).

We hope you enjoy reading about the college's community of scholars, whose research, teaching and service will ensure the college remains a competitive resource—and recruiting ground—for the next generation of scholars, business leaders and policymakers.
