Hope you are doing well in this wintry weather! I write to you today to notify you that our office (CAS Undergraduate Academic Programs) will be hosting a Best Practices Course Scheduling Workshop on December 17 from 12:30 to 1:30 PM in HAR 316. In it we will review any and all aspects of course scheduling from room swaps to the unassigned class list, as well as any other topics that you may want to bring up. If you are interested in attending, please mark it in your calendars, and come prepared with questions! Hope to see you there!  – Dan Wilson

The CAS/GRS Professional Development Committee Book Club is back for another session! This time around we will be reading Educated, a memoir by Tara Westover about her troubled upbringing and her educational journey from being self-taught to receiving her PhD. We’re hoping for lively discussions about the impacts of higher education, about the importance of learning, and also about Westover’s transformative life in general.

We will be meeting twice to discuss Educated, on August 7^th from 11am to 12pm (location TBD) and on August 21^st from 1pm – 2pm (location TBD). We will be discussing the first half of the book during the meeting on the 7^th and the second half of the book on the 21^st.

If you are interested in participating in this summer’s Book Club, please complete the following form by next Friday, July 19th:
