Drop-in opportunities for faculty to ask questions about the CEPH syllabus requirements
Thanks to all of the faculty who have been engaged on the curricular requirements for the CEPH self-study. We know that CEPH needs a lot of additional documentation (information you would not otherwise need to provide), and we thank you for the back and forth to get us what is needed. 
Because syllabi for the public health programs are due in Teams by November 17, the CEPH Self-Study Team will hold drop-in office hours for faculty to talk with us on the following dates and times: 
  • November 1: 10 am-2 pm (in person in 5101 Peterson or online)
  • November 2: 9-11 am (online only)
  • November 3: 9 am-3 pm (online only)
For any session, join us at: https://gmu.zoom.us/j/5772907846
If you can’t make it November 1-3, reach out to Deja Jennings (djennin7@gmu.edu) with any questions.
