Calendar of Events

Please join us at a Spring Quarter ’21 WOC meeting on Monday, May 10, 10:00-11:00 am.
It’s not too early to look towards Fall ’21 to (a) discuss our thoughts on programming and services in advance of a new academic year (and how we’re navigating the uncertainties regarding the degree to which we may be programming on campus, or virtually, or a hybrid of both); and (b) seek to network and explore possible partnerships and collaboration.
Summary of last quarter’s updates and Zoom information are below my signature.
