UPDATE Thursday, January 29:
Thank you again for your flexibility following Monday’s (Jan. 26) cancellation of the CSI Experience due to the winter storm. While postponing was absolutely the right decision for safety and accessibility, particularly for our traveling alumni mentors, we appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked to secure a new date.
We have secured Monday, February 9 as the new date for the CSI Experience.
Please note that registration for the CSI Experience is now closed.
Students who previously registered will be given priority. Students and mentors who are still interested in participating are encouraged to reach out to Elizabeth Gurian (egurian@norwich.edu) directly to be placed on a waitlist, should space become available.
We look forward to moving ahead on February 9 and appreciate everyone’s continued engagement and support of the CSI Experience.
