Our outstanding faculty includes world-renowned scholars in every discipline of the arts and sciences. We've invited some of them to present hyper-abbreviated lectures on the topics of their choosing--a format we call, "Flash Classes,"--to give students, alumni, colleagues, and friends a sense of the true depth and breadth we have at the Dietrich School. Enjoy these mini lectures, and if there are departments and programs you'd like to hear from, contact Carol Mullen.
