FROM DEAN PETER STARR
The College of Arts and Sciences continues to generate innovative programming and initiatives.
In the fall, we launched the Humanities Lab to showcase and enhance the humanities at AU. The lab offers public lectures and symposia, community outreach, new curricular
initiatives, and support for faculty and student research projects. The spring 2015 events, which are free and open to the public, focus on media and cultural geographies.
The new Collaborative for Applied Perceptual Research & Innovation (CAPRI) recently hosted two inaugural events. This exciting interdisciplinary initiative provides opportunities for faculty and students to collaborate on new interactive tools in multimedia art, scientific research, and experimental technology.
In fall 2016, the university's new state-of-the-art Don Myers Technology and Innovation Center will become home to computer science, game design, physics, mathematics, statistics, and CAPRI. The building will showcase interactive demonstrations created by AU faculty and students.
