Students are invited to the College of Arts and Sciences' first-ever CAS Open House, which will take place February 16 and 17.

This new event offers a relaxed, low‑pressure opportunity to stop by CAS faculty offices, ask questions, explore academic programs, and learn more about upcoming courses. It’s also a great way to meet and build connections with the nearly 100 participating faculty members — plus, we’ll have snacks and swag!

Faculty offices across campus will be open for visits. If you’d like to meet with a specific faculty member, please confirm their office location in advance by clicking their name below (or by referring to the office numbers listed for select faculty). Printed maps will also be available in the lobbies of Heritage Hall and University Hall during Open House hours.
