As we enjoy an extra hour of evening light after our recent start of daylight saving time, the promise of spring surrounds us in Connecticut. Mid-way through the spring semester, we have much to celebrate and share across the department, including staff spotlights and a multitude of special events. An overview of last month’s special Black History Month Grand Rounds is included in this newsletter as well as news highlights from and about a sampling of our talented faculty. Thank you for keeping up on all that is happening at the center, and best wishes to all who celebrate religious holidays this spring as well.
