We’re here! We’re thriving! We’re excited to see you! (But only after you’ve taken in every single last second of well-deserved summer.) 

The Humanities Academic Services team is ready to welcome you back with open arms to answer any questions and calm your Autumn quarter jitters. Listen to our first "1 Minute with HAS" recording of the year to be introduced to the newsletter and to the HAS center!

If you are looking to change your major or minor, be sure to schedule an appointment with an HAS adviser before the 10th day of the quarter (October 10th.)

We will also be hosting a HAS Open House Dawg Daze event on Wednesday September 27th 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. where you can visit our center and grab a donut and coffee on us.
