coe-staff: The Weekly Vol. 4 #12

Wed Apr 5 21:48:05 PDT 2023

Dear COE community,

Welcome to spring term! I hope some of you were able to take a break last week. My family and I got away for a few days to the coast and enjoyed the stormy weather and being outside with the elements. There is something so grounding for me about being outdoors. As we enter into spring term and the spring season, I encourage you to think about this season as a time for growth and renewal. Will you plant a garden? Nurture a talent or pastime? Or cultivate your commitment to supporting others - in the classroom, in the office, in the community? Whatever it is, I hope you grow something beautiful.

There are lots of announcements and updates below. I encourage you to read through 'til the end. I hope to see you on Friday in person for our COE faculty/staff meeting. We are meeting in CSB 250...it's a big room, so join us if you can!

Warmly,
Laura Lee
