If Netflix can feature a hypothetical Department of English, why can't two department chairs and a dean chat from time to time about the real-life contributions, controversies, and characters that abound in the world of Arts & Sciences. Although many of the characters discussed may be from Boise State University, there is universality in the roles portrayed and in the challenges faced in higher education today. We discuss the success, failures, frustrations, and innovative opportunities of the current landscape. The Arts & Sciences are alive and kicking, and hopefully you will hear the (mostly) joy in our hearts and (frequent) laughter in our souls. Artwork Credit: Ellie Enebo
