Letter From The Dean 

Horswell

Dear Arts and Letters students, faculty and staff,

I appreciate all you have done over the past year and a half to adapt to our challenging times. We have all been working under uncertain and stressful conditions, and I know it hasn’t been easy. As most of you are aware, the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 is causing infections and hospitalizations to rise again in Florida, and so we must continue to be vigilant.  As we look forward to being together on campus, we must work together to make it a safe environment for all.

FAU’s President and the Florida State University System are in regular contact to help manage this changing environment, and I will keep you informed of any developments as they arise. In order to protect our students, co-workers and community, I would like to reiterate President Kelly’s recommendations that everyone wear face coverings when inside our buildings, including in classrooms, and that face coverings be worn when in groups outside. I also ask that everyone please get vaccinated; it is the best protection for you and those you care about. You can find more information about the vaccines HERE, and you can find information about where to get vaccinated HERE

Students and employees with positive tests, symptoms and exposures must contact student health services immediately at 561-297-3512. 

Thank you to our dedicated faculty and staff for all you are doing to move forward with our mission of offering an outstanding educational experience for students in the arts, humanities, social sciences, architecture and public administration.

Students, we so look forward to having you back on campus! We have an exciting year planned for you. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to reach out to one of our incredible advisors in Student Services or to one of your professors. We are here for you.

Go Owls!

Sincerely,

Michael J. Horswell, PhD
Dean, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
