We are pleased to announce that the Board of Trustees has approved the transfer of the Art History program to the College of Humanities, and that it will be housed in the Department of Humanities, Classics and Comparative Literature, to be renamed the Department of Comparative Arts and Letters (CAL). The change will take place at the beginning of Winter Semester 2015. We welcome Martha Moffitt Peacock, Mark J. Johnson, Heather Belnap Jensen and James R. Swensen to the college and very much look forward to our association with them.
