Cumulus President’s Message January 2021

As part of our ongoing work to amplify benefits for all of our members we are excited to share that we are developing a new initiative that we will unveil by the next General Assembly and Cumulus Roma conference in June 2021: the Cumulus Ph.D. Network Program. The aim of this program is to create a platform and activities where Ph.D. coordinators, faculty, and our student community can come together to collaborate and exchange learning. We circulated a short survey last week.
