Faculty of Arts & Science 2012-2013 Calendar

Message from the Dean

Message from the Dean

Welcome to the 2012-2013 academic year.

This Calendar is your guide to the wide range of academic choices available to you as a student in the Faculty of Arts & Science.

While such choice is exciting, it can also be somewhat overwhelming trying to decide which courses to take. Please remember that there are many people who work in Arts & Science whose job it is to answer your questions and assist you in getting the most out of your university experience. Whether you need information about your program requirements, or are seeking advice about small-group learning, research or international experiences, your college registrar’s office is always your first stop for assistance.  I encourage you to take advantage of these services, whether you are at the beginning, middle or end of your university career.

It is also important that you know that the Faculty of Arts and Science values your input on all aspects of your student life. We strive to deliver the best possible educational experience and your views matter to us. In particular, I ask that you please take a bit of time to let us know how you feel your courses and professors measure up by completing the Faculty's student course evaluations. These evaluations are very important because we use the information in many ways, including in decisions regarding promotion and tenure.

I hope you have a wonderful year.

Sincerely,


Meric Gertler, FRSC
Dean & Professor of Geography
Goldring Chair in Canadian Studies
