This newsletter was created to keep the faculty abreast of curriculum, catalog, and assessment updates in the Summer, to help them prepare for the upcoming Fall 2020 semester. We wanted to give the faculty and Academic Departments a continuous connection with our team, and let them know that we are available throughout the summer.

Zoom gallery photo of the Academic Programs Office, led by Dean Regina Eisenbach. Regina scheduled (almost) daily virtual team huddles: Mon-Thurs, for 30 minutes. The aim is to keep us connected, by sharing not just work and university updates, but to also share personal experiences, updates on our families, movies we watched, or just how we are feeling. Our daily huddle, and chats on Teams, are our "virtual hallways", where we would have spontaneous conversations.

Photo of CY [Criselda Yee] and Flat Crash, both wearing masks. I joined a county-wide sewing collective (before the CSUSM sewing group was created): "Uniting with Homemade Masks - San Diego County". Together, we sewed over 3,000 masks for frontline workers, caregivers, first responders, USPS and school district food service workers, etc. Personally, I made almost 200 masks, some of which also went to family, co-workers and neighbors.

Guest Speaker: Dr. James J. Chun, Interim Medical Director with Student Health & Counseling Services presented a COVID-19 update for CSUSM.
