Dear All,
We are working to update our list of affiliate, core, and associated faculty members and to learn about your connections to LACSI, focusing on research, teaching, and service/outreach. As such, we are asking you to take a few minutes to fill out the 2024 LACSI Faculty Survey, which will help us to serve our affiliates better, to learn about your course and lecture offerings, and to gather your feedback on LACSI objectives.
Thank you in advance for your input in this process!
Chad and Jorge
