CSSH's Commitment to Engagement and Resilience
As we all monitor the developments around COVID-19, CSSH is also committed to sharing information about virtual events as well as success stories that continue to accumulate in our college. Current circumstances hold fear and concern for all of us. This newsletter is not to ignore these sentiments, but rather to show the variety of ways in which we engage in research and public service, support one another, and celebrate the accomplishments of students, faculty and staff.
