My experience in the College of Arts and Science has been great! All of my professors have done an incredible job at not only helping me excel in the classroom, but also at preparing me for a future career in counseling. I am grateful for all of the resources that Dodge offers to students, and the personal care that every Dodge staff gives to students .”
