Save the Date for Witness in Residence: Aly Shaw on April 15 at 4 p.m.

Faculty: Please remember to invite your theme course students to block time for this spring’s  Anabel Aliaga-Buchenau Witness in Residence Initiative (and let them know we try to do it for them once per semester). This spring, the Initiative is collaborating with the Department of Global Studies, as well as the Dean’s Office. Shaw plans to share her experience of leading campaigns to address community environmental concerns and to help students understand the tools and databases available to them for their research. 

Thank you for all you do. 

All the best,

Anabel
