Dear Mason Gross Community,

It is a pleasure to greet you as third Dean of Mason Gross School of the Arts. Mason Gross offers its students a dance program with one of the most rigorous BFA degrees available nationally; a visual arts program with some of the finest exhibition and studio spaces in the East; a music program that features a host of internationally known performers, scholars, and educators; and a theater arts program that is in the top ten. In addition, Mason Gross has just been ranked the 19th most selective school or college in the nation.

We would like to welcome you to our new and improved Web site, which offers you a glimpse into the magnificent things we have to offer -- outstanding facilities, a diverse and exciting student population, a faculty steeped in excellence, and an intensity that is second to none.

Please spend some time here -- and then join us on campus -- for a tour, for a performance, or to take part in the classrooms, studios, and theaters.

George B. Stauffer, Dean
