Greetings Friends and Colleagues! It has been a while since my last dispatch, but this doesn’t mean that Center affiliates have not been very busy. In fact, the last year was filled with much excitement and some prestigious achievements, including those listed in the section titled “What’s Happening at the Center?" Please click the link that leads you there and I’m sure you will be impressed by the Center’s recent accomplishments. For example, Center staff have externally funded research projects, have won major awards, and are active participants in international scholarly meetings.
