Dear FAS colleagues,
In yesterday’s message to the campus community, President Hartzell formally released The Eyes of Texas History Committee Report. Within our university, the state and the nation, we are grappling with issues of diversity and difference in relation to history. Conversations around diversity and difference can be complex. They require emotional resilience, skill and will. However, they can also create bridges for understanding and healing.

Is social media an effective communication tool for your unit? Do you know why having a strategy behind using that tool is important?
