In March, we asked LA&PS students to submit their ideas for the cover of the 2021-2026 Academic Plan. Students from across the Faculty submitted designs featuring some combination of the principles of this plan:
- diversity
- interdisciplinarity
- building community
- global fluencies
- local partnerships
- community outreach
Thank you to all LA&PS student who submitted your wonderful designs.
We are excited to announce the Academic Plan design contest winners!
