'What's in a name?’ Shakespeare’s Juliet asks. For us, the new name means transformation: a forthcoming undergraduate major, a new emphasis on early childhood education, sharpening our focus on equity, and narrowing the disparities in student outcomes. This is an extraordinary moment for the school.
