Raucous Caucus
From our CTLT Friends:
Friday, May 7th (3:00-5:00+) will be our last Raucous Caucus of the academic year, and it’s going to be FUN! In an epic collaboration with HR and Student Affairs, we’ll be bringing in stand up comedian and former educator Devin Siebold for a little bit of professional development and a whole lot of laughs! Did we mention that there will also be giveaways galore? We want to close the semester on a wonderfully happy note and also say thanks for all of your involvement throughout this epically unusual school year.
