Message from the Dean / Publication Information
The College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences encompasses a diverse and successful group of academic departments and programs. Although their research interests outreach opportunities may differ, our students and faculty share a dedication to excellence and a passion for learning. The students in our museum studies program continue to gain tangible, hands-on experience through working in an active museum. Our social work students demonstrate a desire to help others through their enthusiasm for volunteerism. Our psychology students conduct cutting-edge research alongside their instructors. Our political science students are actively involved in shaping policies that will govern our state and country. Likewise, our faculty members continue to demonstrate progress in critical areas of research, including ADHD and dementia care, and CHSBS faculty win numerous teaching awards each year. I am proud to use this newsletter as a platform to recognize their accomplishments. Finally, I am pleased to offer each of our alums an opportunity to return to campus. The fall semester brings football games and homecoming events, including the CHSBS pizza and wing party from 10 a.m. until noon on September 29. I invite you and your family to join us for good food and conversation and to show your CMU pride! If you are a CHSBS alum who would like to become more involved with the college or would like to return to campus, please e-mail me at CHSBS@cmich.edu. I encourage you to visit campus and become reacquainted with your departments and faculty members. Our faculty love to hear from their former students, and we are always searching for opportunities to invite alumni to be guest speakers in our classes. I look forward to hearing from you.

As interim dean of the College of Humanities
and Social and Behavioral Sciences, I continue to be amazed
and proud of the many ways our academic departments extend
learning opportunities beyond the classroom. This newsletter
captures some of the tremendous experiences our students and
faculty have shared this past spring and summer, and I invite
you to read about their notable accomplishments.
