Current on the beach

The Current has added two summer issues to keep faculty and staff informed of events and critical news during the academic break.

We will appear June 20 and July 18 in our new, shorter summer format, designed to fit in your beach bag with the sunscreen and the towel.

The Current will resume its biweekly publication schedule and return to its regular eight-page format Sept. 5.
