College of Arts and Sciences

This year's FOCAS* on A&S Week celebrates the successes of the college. Departments and programs in the college welcome students and friends to explore each of the four divisions: the humanities, the natural sciences, the professional programs and the social sciences.

We celebrate our successes during FOCAS* on A&S Week from Feb. 19 to Feb. 23. Numerous departmental presentations are open to the public throughout the week and at the gala Kaleidoscope Evening on Friday night, we will honor four alumni with the Distinguished Alumni Award and one friend of the college with the Distinguished Service Award.

Our Silent Auction is online now. Those interested in an overnight stay at a luxury Marriott hotel, or the first item created from the Pe-et Elm should go to Mission Fish.org and look for our auctions. More items will be available at the Kaleidoscope Evening.

Free refreshments available in Ellison Hall! Come by Ellison Hall, home of the college offices, any time starting at 10 a.m. during FOCAS* on A&S Week for a cookie. Along with the goodies, there will be a display about the college.
