Historical Note

During the 1980's to the early 2000's, the College of Humanities underwent significant growth with the establishment of the Obert C. and Gail A. Tanner Humanities Center, an Asian Studies Program, a Latin American Studies Program, and an Environmental Humanities Program. The College also undertook initiatives to further implement the use of computer technology in humanities scholarship for both faculty and students. This was also the period in which the Language and Communication Building and the Carolyn T. Irish Humanities Building were constructed as new campus locations for the College.
