TODAY: Fursca Summer Proposal Peer Review Session

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Today: Wednesday, Jan. 24 at 5 p.m. in the Library Family Room — Pizza and Snacks included.

See how others are approaching this challenge and get feedback on your draft proposal — our FURSCA Ambassadors will be there along with the Directors of FURSCA and Writing and Consulting.
