CHSS Digest
August 24, 2021
Dear colleagues,
Welcome back to campus for fall semester 2021, and welcome to a new edition of the CHSS Digest.
Just as you’ve noticed some changes on campus, the newsletter is incorporating a few changes this year. For one thing, it’s going to be coming out twice each month; after this August “Welcome Back” edition, we will generally be publishing it on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. Also, expect the newsletter to be shorter each issue, to offer a quick read.
We welcome your news, and hope that you will send it to Felicia (fcarr2@gmu.edu) or Anne (areyno12@gmu.edu) when you have some to share.
For now, though, we share the sentiment that Dean Ardis noted in a first-day-of-class post, "The sense of excitement about the new academic year is palpable! Welcome back to campus, Mason Nation!"
