Volunteers play a critical role within Arts & Sciences. Not only do they serve as champions of and advocates for the College, but their support also enhances the Arts & Sciences mission. We thank our alumni volunteers for their time and generosity, and recognize faculty and staff members who have served on important committees or as chairs or directors.
