Note from the Chair
Phase 1 of the Scott Hall reopening started last Thursday; Phase 2 might be able to happen this week. Details to follow in the next day or two.
This afternoon, you will receive an email with a link to an anonymous survey related to the restart. Your responses will help up refine our approach for Phase 2 and address issues remaining from Phase 1.
A group of students and fellows is working on a set of departmental activities related to recognition of, and actions intended to address issues that connect to the Black Lives Matter movement. This connects to all of us – students, staff, and faculty. You will hear more about BMI actions and activities soon. Thanks to the students who have already been engaged.
