As the times have changed, we have changed along with them. Faculty prepare students for a changing world. Faculty prepare students for the information-technology age. Students and parents believe in us. We have stayed as good as we are because faculty have gone beyond the call of duty, despite cuts.
Faculty work together across departmental lines, have interdisciplinary values.
New faculty have reenergized other faculty, bringing in new ideas. Another round of contraction and we will not be the University we are and have been. We work in a setting of diminishing resources. We are experiencing many budget cuts while many investments are being made in UConn. Although students get value for their money, we are in danger of being eclipsed by other institutions.
