Dean has undertaken (in 2008) an ambitious renovation program which will include the installation of an elevator in Dean Hall, upgrades to Bourret Hall - a residence hall; and a complete renovation of the E. Ross Anderson Library, all to be completed in the summer of 2008.

The College is known for the access students have to faculty, mentors and tutors who have abundant and flexible office hours and are willing to work with students to make sure they learn and comprehend course material and cultivate confidence in their abilities.
