Director’s Note: Not so lazy days of summer
June wrapped up with 2 featured speakers on our CEN/EaC produced webinar series. You can check out the videos of Tammy Jones ’87 and John Noe ’99 here by scrolling to the bottom of the playlist. We will be resuming the webinars in late August! As we start to emerge from the pandemic, there is much optimism for in person events, and we are in full planning mode. We have our Eship kickoff event for students on September 9th and our big NYC conference, Eclectic Convergence on November 12th and a bunch of things planned for in between! Take care, and we hope that your early summers have been wonderful!
