Achieving the Unexpected
Welcome to the 2017 MSU College of Arts & Letters Dean’s Report, ACHIEVE. For generations, the faculty, students, and alumni from the College of Arts & Letters at Michigan State University have transformed lives through engaged creative leadership.
Their passion and talent demonstrate the power of an MSU liberal arts education and fuel our efforts to create a more just and beautiful world. To return to what I said when I began as Dean: as we enjoy the shade of trees we did not plant and respond to a present we did not anticipate, these stories enable us to envision a better future. Together, there is no limit to what we can ACHIEVE.
DEAN CHRISTOPHER P. LONG
