Dear Readers,
Welcome to the first edition of the CLASS News Update, a monthly guide to the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences events and highlights. CLASS News Update replaces the Graffit-e newsletter that ceased publication in July 2010. The comprehensive redesign of the College's website and the reinvention of the newsletter are major milestones in the effort to make CLASS information more convenient and accessible.
