Welcome
The Humanities are where the arts, language, and culture come together to define who we are as a community, a nation, and ultimately our legacy as inhabitants of this world. Our faculty strive to infuse creative critical thought into all aspects of learning while simultaneously inspiring a love and appreciation for the disciplines. Whether you are playing a sax, mixing paints, reading Whitman, or studying Buddhism, the Humanities are where the seeds of inspiration are allowed to bloom.

Leo Hwang-Carlos, Associate Dean of Humanities
