Historically, we found our commitment to diversity to be a compass that enabled us to navigate through uncertain times. This guidance resulted in a variety of courses we have offered. Not only have they been rooted in traditional approaches but in innovative ones too, as shifting times offered new theories and methods. We have been quite strategic in diversifying our faculty hires, attracting the best and brightest new talent to enter the profession as well as seasoned veterans. These have been augmented by welcoming distinguished visiting professors, lecturers, and readers.
