coe-staff: The Weekly Vol. 5 #31

[Laura Lee McIntyre]

Dear COE community,



It’s hard to believe that we’re in Week 8 and the academic year is winding down. The past few weeks have been especially busy (and challenging for many) as we have navigated supporting our students and each other during campuswide protests and global engagement surrounding the crisis in the middle east. I appreciate our thoughtful faculty and staff who have maintained a commitment to inclusive practices and support to all. Your actions make  a difference.



As the school year winds down, the end-of-the-year activities ramp up. Please read on for updates and upcoming opportunities.



Warmly,

Laura Lee
