MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN:

Diversity is both a concept and an application. As a concept, it defines a world-view and as an application it directs our daily lives. As an academic entity, CAUS is identified with insightful planning, place-making, community, creative design, and visual and construction arts. Through these physical and visual arts, we put into play the concepts and applications that encourage, build, and embrace the multi-cultural diversity of our world. 

Through the generous work of this committee and the support of the CAUS faculty, staff, and students, we will continue to strive to be a model of excellence, reflected in the multicultural nature of our academic endeavors.
