CEPE faculty research fellowship: Call for applications

The Center for Ethics and Public Engagement invites applications from any tenure-track faculty for a two-year research fellowship. The fellowship provides one course release per year to allow the fellow time to conduct academic research or discipline-specific work related to CEPE's annual theme. Please see CEPE website for details and application instructions. Application deadline is Friday, Feb. 15, 2019.

January book group sign-up

Some call Ed Fallon's 3,100-mile trek from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. a modern-day "Odyssey." Walk along with Fallon in his reflective memoir, "Marcher, Walker, Pilgrim," as he and dozens of others call attention to climate change. Like Odysseus, Fallon experiences loneliness, lost love, extreme pain, unpredictable weather and attempted mutiny. Join a January book group here, and prepare for Fallon's visit to campus Thursday, Feb. 21. Sponsored by the Center for Ethics and Public Engagement.
