change over time because the faculty teaching them do. The changes Sweet Briar has made in the last year have taken place over a shorter period of time than they might otherwise have done, “but,” Rainville said, “this will allow us to build programs from the ground up in a thoughtful way.” And although Sweet Briar has had a self-designed major for more than two decades, there wasn’t always a lot of support for students who wanted to go that route. Now, the College’s self-designed major will be even more effective because the integrated core will help faculty become accustomed to teaching in an interdisciplinary way. “We’ll have fewer majors,” she said, “but our faculty are cross-listing courses to integrate the best from multiple fields of study and combine them in new and interesting ways.” Though these changes have been challenging to implement, and some continue to be works in progress, they will lay the groundwork for Sweet Briar to thrive, says Woo. “These efforts will enable Sweet Briar to improve the quality of its academics. We’re going to be determined in our efforts to move the College forward and I have no doubt that Sweet Briar will thrive.” spring 2018 7
