Through our rigorous degree programs, multidisciplinary minor programs, and elective opportunities for students from other faculties, the Faculty of Arts provides the foundation of the liberal education model Acadia is known for. The faculty itself has witnessed some changes over the past academic year with the loss of some of our key members, but also with an infusion of new tenure-track and CLT hires. We continued to provide many opportunities for students, faculty, and community members outside the classroom with academic initiatives like Authors at Acadia series, the Politics Film Series, La Table Francaise, Tuesday night album discussions, concerts in the School of Music, productions by the Acadia Theatre Company, and several Departmental guest speakers.
