We have a big announcement regarding graduate program support. <span style="font-size:12pt;background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);display:inline !important">As I am sure you are aware, there is a lot of movement in the workforce today and the GSAC is not immune
to this trend. Over the past year we've had advisors move on to new positions on campus, and recently the CNAS Dean’s Office provided an additional SSA2 position in anticipation of graduate student population growth between now and 2030. Because of these
factors, we are reassigning quite a few programs in the Center with the hope that program support will stay stable for as long as possible. </span><span style="color:rgb(32, 31, 30);font-family:"Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important"><span style="font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"> The
