Resources
www.cbhd.org -- Through the generosity of a strategic gift, the Center has engaged in a complete redesign of our flagship website in order to enhance the functionality of the site and to expand our capabilities to utilize new and emerging web technologies. We apologize for any loss of functionality that users may experience during the transition to this new site, but we are confident that our redesigned site positions us well to continue offering leading-edge online resources in the bioethics. Given that vast number of articles resided on the previous site, we are slowly updating and migrating them over to the new site. If there is a particular article from the archives that you would like us to give higher priority in the migration queue, please submit your request via our online contact form at: http://cbhd.org/contact.
Resource Lounge -- The Center recently completed a reorganization of our office space that facilitated the creation of a resource lounge to be utilized by students, interns, and other CBHD visitors. The lounge includes a small bioethics library, various periodicals and relevant organization newsletters, computer workstations, and space for quiet reading or communal discussions. Our hope is that the creation of this space will improve visibility of the Center among graduate and undergraduate students as well as to devote physical space to the critical reflection of the pressing issues of our day. If you happen to be on campus, please take the opportunity to stop by.
