Governance

ANES faculty meet as a group of affiliated faculty at least once each year to assess the major and discuss changes that may need to be made. The ANES Executive Committee communicates regularly internally, and as needed with the affiliated faculty, concerning matters related to the major. ANES faculty are encouraged by the ANES coordinator to create clearly defined and rigorous learning outcomes and to continue to improve their courses.
