March Monthly Newsletter
Hello students,
Email is a great way to keep people abreast of important information, but it can be difficult to keep track of all the emails we receive. CJDSA knows this, and we have come up with a solution.
Below is the compiling of all the still-relevant emails we received in the month of February. A new task for the CJDSA’s Chair for Communications is to collect all the emails we receive each month, categorize them, and send a summary of them to the student body. This is further down in the body of this email.
I have organized the pertinent emails into the following categories: Deadlines, Events, Job Opportunities, Research/Fellowship/Grant/Funding Opportunities, General Important Information, and Accolades.
If you want to find one of the emails below, use the subject line in the “Search Entire Mailbox” search bar in your email. If you cannot find a particular email (for whatever reason), just let me know and I will forward it to you.
We hope this proves helpful, and your feedback is valued.
All the best,
Lauren
