Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the first days of the shortest month of the year! Many of you may be breathing a sigh of relief, having just submitted the latest round of annual reporting – so we’ll keep the resources and news light-hearted and helpful.
Please take a quick look at the resources below, share your feedback about Safer Products for Washington, and consider the next Health Innovation Big Ideas webinar.
We want to continue to support and celebrate the work of all of our urban Extension colleagues throughout the WSU community. So, tweet @wsumetrocenter and @westernmetro with your events, big ideas, publications, or resources that are driving you.
Warmly,
Brad
