CIVS Welcomes New and Returning Research Students

On August 12, new and returning CIVS research assistants and students gathered in the Immersive Theater for the Fall 2024 student orientation.

CIVS Director Dr. Chenn Zhou and Associate Director for Operations Dr. Armin Silaen opened the meeting by welcoming back and sharing successful student stories over the summer.  Students were encouraged to fully utilize the research opportunities at CIVS to learn and grow for their future careers.

This event fosters belonging between students as well as staff. Staff outlined expectations for CIVS students with the goal of setting them up for success.  Discussions were had to practice this year’s CIVS core value, “Creativity, Consistency, Culture”.
