design and analysis of infrastructure is connected to the society we serve so I invite you to participate in the panel discussion tomorrow (see below) and to please share these resources with students in your classes and research groups. This simple act by
instructors, as role models for students, highlights our commitment to open dialogue and concern for our students by providing them with resources as they may be processing difficult issues in the news, among their peers and perhaps, close friends and family.</span></p>
