This summer, @cedarcreekesr partnered with the @bellmuseum for several wonderful outreach and summer camp offerings. There’s nothing like getting up close and personal with nature at Cedar Creek!

Drum-roll please… Our new dean, Dr. Saara DeWalt, has officially arrived on campus! Dr. DeWalt most recently worked as a tenured professor and chair of biological sciences at Clemson University. Welcome to CBS, Dr. DeWalt! We’re so thankful to have you here.

Welcome back, Gophers! Campus is buzzin' again and we love to see it. Have a great first day of classes! #UMNproud
