Announcements

• CLU Masks: If you didn't pick up a CLU mask in the fall, stop by the Office of the Provost (downstairs in the Pederson Administration Building) to get one. (Don't forget to do your Daily Health Check first, so you can swipe into the building.)
   
• Faculty Research Scholarship in Germany: The German Academic Exchange Services (DAAD) invites faculty submissions for funded research projects in Germany. DAAD offers one to three month grants in all academic disciplines to pursue research at universities, libraries, archives, institutes or laboratories in Germany. The aim of this particular program is to support short-term research stays and thus promote the exchange of experience and networking amongst colleagues. German language ability should match the level necessary for the proposed research. The current cycle application is due May 17. Contact the San Francisco DAAD office at daadsf@daad.org or (415)/986-2021 with specific questions, or global@callutheran.edu for general questions.
