From the Office of the Dean |

Good afternoon! I hope this issue of our biweekly newsletter finds you doing as well as possible at a stressful point in the academic calendar. Between advising, the Thanksgiving holiday next week, and the impending end of the semester, it definitely can be challenging to take a few moments to appreciate the beautiful weather we’re having….or even read this email. At the same time, there is so much good that is happening in our College, and on campus, that I hope you’re able to carve a few moments to check them all out. The people of CHDCM are, as always, bringing the heat!
|
So, even as we recognize the hectic pace of this time of year, I invite you to take a little time to read on, and enjoy the good news and shout outs from the College of Human Development, Culture, and Media! As always, keep your good news and event notes coming, have a great remainder of your week, and we will be back with the next installation of this newsletter after Thanksgiving!
