| Greetings from the Dean | | | | Greetings to our Falk College family. As I reflect on 2018 and look ahead to 2019, I find myself in awe of all that our alumni continue accomplish through their dedicated work to improving the lives of others. Here at Falk College, our current students enthusiastically apply their knowledge from the classroom to their experiential learning opportunities in the local area and around the world. There is truly no better way to learn. I encourage our students and alumni to continue in our standard of excellence in research, engagement, and service. Dean Diane Lyden Murphy, M.A., M.S.W., Ph.D. |
