Chris Beekman will be part of a small working group next month with the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage at Yale University discussing collectors, museums, dealers, and antiquities trafficking. He will also be spending time at Dumbarton Oaks, where he did his sabbatical, working on the organization of a 2018 or 2019 symposium to be held there.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
