We’re back! The U of T campus is absolutely buzzing with activity — and we have so much to tell you. A&S Dean Melanie Woodin welcomes students to campus and we share news of exciting events — including the Fireside Chat with Wes Hall. And don’t forget — Woodin is traveling the world to connect directly with alumni to share the ground-breaking work Arts & Science is doing. Be sure to update your contact info so the dean can let you know when she’s coming to your town. Plus, the new Dean’s Advisory Council, exciting news, and much more.
