Small Colleges Have These Advantages
Connecticut College President Andrea Chapdelaine touts the benefits of a small student body.
The Case for Sustaining Undergraduate Research at Small Colleges
Primarily undergraduate institutions should not be left out of conversations over shifts in federal research funding, Andrea Chapdelaine writes.
“ This is the greatest honor and privilege of my career—to serve a private liberal arts college that provides an excellent, purposeful and holistic education with a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion… My overall goal is to fully support and promote Conn’s mission to provide an excellent liberal arts education that prepares students as global citizens. I consider Conn’s mission my prime directive. ”
— Andrea Chapdelaine, President of Connecticut College
