Dear Friends,
We want to welcome everyone back as we start a new quarter. We will host a few of the Center's Spring quarter programs (http: //www.international.ucla.edu/cnes/events) in-person while most will continue to be online. Our offices will be staffed in-person Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and we are available online and by appointment throughout the week during Spring quarter.
Please review the required UCLA COVID-19 (https: //covid-19.ucla.edu/) protocols, addressing prevention, vaccines, testing, exposure management and quarantine procedures, and visit the Los Angeles County Public Health (http: //publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/coronavirus/) best practices guide for more information about required indoor masks use and other COVID-19 updates.
Thank you for your attention and support.
Sincerely,
Ali Behdad
