Community
Student-faculty interactions are critical and we do our best to foster these important interactions. We try to build a community where student-faculty interactions occur frequently both inside and outside of the classroom setting. These interactions help break down barriers and students feel more comfortable approaching faculty about academic and non-academic issues. Also, when students need recommendation letters, their faculty know them well and can provide strong, detailed letters.
