CCS wants to build the bridge to our alumni network so we can stay connected to the Shapers impacting the city. Each monthly newsletter will feature one alumni as the spotlight of the month so the current students and faculty can stay informed about the amazing work they are doing. See the first two alumni spotlights of the year below.
