Dear Eugene:

I hope you are all well and safe during these most trying of times. Like
you, STEM-NET is modifying our ways of operation so that some semblance of
“business as usual” is achieved; this applies to our webcast program.
Fortunately, our work is conducted mainly by electronic means. My feeling
is that it is important for us to be an example and to function at as high
a level as possible by providing a service to our CSU colleagues and
community. In so doing, we can be both a calming voice and comfort to those
around us thereby minimizing the social and economic impacts of COVID-19.

*We have an upcoming webcast on April 15th on Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL)
(information below and attached flyer). Please distribute this email widely
to your faculty and anyone who may be interested in the presentation
content (pre-award/post-award, Associate/Assistant Deans of research,
Faculty research mentors, Research office staff, College/School Deans,
Department chairs, Research Center/Institute administrators, etc.).*

Do not hesitate to communicate with us via email or through our social
media platforms. Feel free to join our private Facebook online
community/group to engage and socialize with CSU STEM peers.

Facebook Group name: CSU STEM-NET.

You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Remember to wash your hands. Stay safe and healthy.

Best,

Frank
