Dear COE Community,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many of you received this message earlier today, but I want to share it broadly with our COE community. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This news, coupled with the gutting of the US Department of Education last night (with over 1500 layoffs, including the majority of IES/NCER), has left many of us feeling uncertain and worried about whatβs to come for our grant portfolio, and education
more broadly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I appreciative you supporting our collective community at this time. We are navigating grant terminations, cancelled calls for proposals, and delayed or cancelled study sections. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We all need a little grace. Thank for coming together as a college. </div>
<div><br>
