Dear COE faculty and staff,
Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by the fires of this last week. We are aware of faculty and staff who have worried for loved ones and those in the schools and community whom we serve, have been evacuated, or have even lost or had damage to homes. This is a time to take care of ourselves and one another. Below are several articles to assist with the emotional impact of fires, a link to Human Resources at CSUN for additional resources for faculty and staff, and Wildfire Statewide Recovery Resources.
Your welfare is of the utmost importance and we are here to support all of you.
Shari and Carolyn
