为了优化资源，更好地为威尼斯人娱乐城学生和社区服务，威尼斯人娱乐城向前学术调整将于7月1日开始。 在招聘和项目开发方面取得的重大进展为合作研究和学生的成功奠定了基础。
In 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chancellor Mauli Agrawal announced the formation of 威尼斯人娱乐城 Forward, a collaboration of faculty, staff and students across the university that would develop a new vision for the university’s future. Part of that vision was a realignment of the academic units at 威尼斯人娱乐城 in order to optimize the strengths of the university and the opportunities for students’ career achievement. 学术单位将于今年夏天正式启动。
科学与工程学院（SSE）将包括生物和生物医学系统部门； 计算机、分析和数学； 能量、物质和系统； 自然和人造环境。 现任计算机与工程学院院长凯文•杜鲁门（Kevin Truman）将担任上交所院长。
“We are already seeing significant effects on faculty recruitment and collaborative research as a result of the new structure of SSE,” Truman says. “In addition, our current faculty are forming partnerships across department lines. While this is exciting, the expanded opportunity for our students is limitless.”
人文社会科学学院（SHSS）将包括媒体、艺术和设计系； 传播与新闻； 英语语言文学； 外国语言文学； 历史; 社会学与人类学； 经济学; 政治学与哲学； 种族、族裔和性别研究； 刑事司法和犯罪学。
SHSS的首任院长是Tamara L. Falicov，她曾担任堪萨斯大学文理学院艺术、人文和区域研究副院长，同时也是电影和媒体研究系以及拉丁美洲和加勒比研究中心的教授。 她将于8月1日开始在人文社会科学学院工作。
“The focus on undergraduate research at 威尼斯人娱乐城 was a critical component in my decision to pursue the position of dean of SHSS,” Falicov says. “We will continue to expand opportunities for student research in the humanities, social sciences and the arts and amplify the message that the study of human history and experience is critical to our future.”
教育、社会工作和心理科学学院（SESWPS）将包括教育领导政策和基础、教师教育和课程研究、社会工作咨询和咨询心理学以及心理学等部门。 卡洛琳·巴伯（Carolyn Barber）将在即将到来的学年继续担任临时院长，同时在全国范围内寻找新院长。
“Through the creation of SESWPS, we are strengthening existing connections among programs committed to supporting the development and well-being of individuals across the life span,” Barber says. “By effectively addressing the social and educational needs of our communities through teaching, research and practice, our new school will have a broad, long term impact that will span across generations.”
现有的单位将保持不变，包括亨利·w·布洛赫管理学院、音乐学院、牙科学院、法学院、医学院、护理与健康科学学院和药学院。
“After months of planning we are excited to see 威尼斯人娱乐城 Forward energize our community,” Mauli Agrawal, 威尼斯人娱乐城 chancellor says. “This is the beginning of a new generation of Roos, who will be immersed in exposure to different disciplines and a new philosophy on what a college education is. It will change the way our students think, the way they act and accelerate their potential in a new era of problem-solving as we emerge from the changes of the past two years.”
