Student demand for our courses remained strong and CAS departments worked hard to strengthen curricular offerings. For example, the Departments of Art and Music were accredited by their national professional organizations. The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures revamped its curriculum and changed its name to World Languages and Cultures to reflect trends in the discipline. Several departments launched creative projects to engage students in the learning process. As you will find in this annual report, departments have hosted career fairs, alumni events, student awards ceremonies, café societies, brown bag seminars, speaker series and established scholarships for their students. College students conducted community research and service learning projects in their neighborhoods, tackled internships at Chicago museums, zoos, government agencies and non-profits, and participated in professional meetings and simulation activities such as the Model UN.
