Thank you to the donors who supported our Research Experiences for Undergraduates' research projects on Comets Giving Days. CCF raised over $5,300 and came in 2nd place for the door decorating contest, earning an additional $100! These funds will be used to purchase materials and supplies for the students' projects. We can't wait to share with you the results of this research and the impacts this knowledge will have on children and families in years to come.

The CCF REU Student Experience Podcast
CCF Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) students were recently interviewed about the REU program for the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences' podcast, BBS Mindful Minutes. In this episode, REU students discuss how the REU has shaped their professional and academic goals and given them a supportive academic community. They also discuss under-representation in research and how research can impact our communities. Listen here.
From the Director
We are a few weeks away from the end of classes and close of our Play With Me programs this semester. It has been a busy spring, and we have enjoyed connecting with you all again--many times in person--for our spring lectures, meetings, and programs. After a 2-year delay, we will host an in-person Screening Fair in Bachman Lake this weekend, providing at-risk children with hearing, autism, language and developmental screenings in partnership with the Callier Center for Communication Disorders. We are grateful to be able to connect in this way again and hope to see you soon at our next gathering.
