(updated Fall 2023)
Every semester I will publish my goals, these are by no means a complete list of activities and goals. Some I’ve removed as appropriate for sensitivity reasons, and others will have become priorities since publishing.
Note – A few new items this semester. Mostly, my priority is to increase the number of completed projects for the room and establish a regular program of events and activities for the room. I am also looking at possible re-branding for the room, to increase awareness of our work, support more activities, and expand our audience.
