Dean's Message
I am very proud to be part of the School of Arts and Humanities. The School consists of 16 departments and programs. Each of them is unique in its own way, offering students interesting classes with experienced faculty.
The School is alive with activities and special programs such as our Art Gallery featuring well-known artists, as well as works created by our own students and faculty. Our radio and television stations and our campus newspaper are all created by students and offer many opportunities for experimentation and growth. The School of Performing Arts produces many professional level plays and musical events each year. Performances are appreciated by the surrounding community who make up a portion of audience. Complimenting the School of Performing Arts is the Sonoma Film Institute that runs dozens of films each year for the community ranging from silent to avante-guard to contemporary.
A jewel in our midst is the Donald & Maureen Green Music Center that opens fully in Sept. 2012. The School of Arts and Humanities is pleased to have our Music Department within the Green Music Center complex and playing an integral part in creating music education.
I welcome you to the School of Arts and Humanities. Please take a look through the departments of the School and contact us with any questions.
