They are a dynamic team and my goal this year is to introduce you to them.

Send CI some encouraging words

We all remember how stressful finals are. Tests, papers, and pulling all-nighters. What better way to relieve some of that stress than to hear from someone who has been through it. Share your words of encouragement, advise, or positive thoughts for current CI students. You can share a positive quote, a funny story, or simply wish them the good luck on all their finals. A&FA has partnered with the John Spoor Broome Libary to share your words of encouragement all over the Library during finals week for students to read. Share your positive thoughts,  click here.
