Get to Know Your Deans

Hi [NAME],

As a biologist, you know that DNA is a molecule with genetic information that defines the development and function of an organism.

In newsletter terms, the Deans' News and Announcements - or The DNA! - is a new way for the CBS deans to bring you monthly updates, answer your questions, and connect you to opportunities that come across our desks.

We hope you find The DNA useful and encourage you to reach out to us with your questions or comments by simply replying to this email.
