Emory University CFDE Director Eric Weeks

Message from the Director

Welcome to the midpoint of the Fall 2020 term! All across Emory we prepared harder than ever for this semester, and I hope your personal preparations have paid off and that your semester is going well.

At the CFDE, our preparations included making a list of Frequently Asked Questions for both in-person classes and remotely taught classes. We expect to update them over winter break to help you prepare for the spring semester.

You’ll note throughout this newsletter several other ways in which the CFDE is prepared to help you with your work either this current semester, or in preparation for the spring semester.

Keep up the great work, Emory!

Eric Weeks, Director, CFDE, & Dobbs Professor of Physics
