Installation and Celebration of Feng Sheng Hu as the Richard G. Engelsmann Dean of Arts & Sciences

On Wednesday, August 30, Dean Feng Sheng Hu will be installed as the Richard G. Engelsmann Dean of Arts & Sciences. Endowed positions like this one celebrate the influence and accomplishments of distinguished individuals in our academic community. They are made possible with the support of alumni and other donors, who leave a lasting legacy at Washington University.

This endowed deanship position is an exciting investment in the future of Arts & Sciences. Funds generated from this gift from Richard G. Engelsmann will enable the Dean's support of special projects that advance our strategic priorities and bold transformations. 

We encourage all members of the Arts & Sciences community to join us in marking this special occasion and the future of Arts & Sciences!
