State of the School Breakfast Briefing

State of the School Breakfast Briefing

  Office of the Dean March 17, 2015

The School of Humanities hosted its inaugural State of the School Breakfast Briefing event, which provides an informal and intimate opportunity for select donors to hear the latest updates from the school, and to share in the Dean's vision for the future of the humanities at UC Irvine.

We were pleased to host 20 of our close friends and community leaders in early February for a traditional breakfast spread and informational report, delivered by Dean Georges Van Den Abbeele, Associate Dean for Research, Julia Lupton, and Associate Dean for Curricular Development, Jim Herbert.

Our guests shared that this breakfast was a great way to kick-start their week, and that they were so excited to learn about faculty and student accolades, burgeoning community partnerships and outreach programs, the launch of new inter-school initiatives, and the forthcoming endowed chairs in Armenian Studies and in Indic Civilizational and Religious Studies within the School of Humanities.
