“The College of Arts and Sciences is cultivating the leaders of tomorrow by teaching students how to evaluate, innovate, and communicate about the world’s most complex and pressing issues. The absolute best way for them to test the knowledge and hone the skills they are learning in the classroom is to apply them in a real-world context. The CAS hands-on learning scholarship makes this transformative learning experience a reality for our students.”
