Dear Members,
Here’s to early Spring. Thank you, Punxsutawney Phil!
I’m counting down the days until the CAPCSD Conference in New Orleans! If you are unable to participate in person, check out the live virtual offerings. The conference planning committee has been working hard to create these innovative, remote opportunities for members.
This month CAPCSD has two great webinars planned. We will host “Assisting Programs in Developing an Assistants’ Program” on February 7th and “SCOTUS Decision on Affirmative Action: Implications for CSD Programs” on February 20th. We hope these webinars are informative and timely for the work you do at your university.
I hope admission decisions and student recruitment goes well for all.
Happy leap year month, Jenn |
