Earlier this semester, the Consortium Assault Services App, or CASA, was released to students in the Five College Consortium. The new mobile app is a collaborative project involving Judd Liebman ’16, the college’s Counseling Center and a private technology firm named Last Call Media, which has developed websites and apps for other colleges and private organizations.
The purpose of the app is to consolidate and simplify information and guidance resources for victims of sexual assault as well as bystanders.
Faculty and staff filled the Cole Assembly Room in Converse for the second faculty meeting of the year. President Martin opened with her remarks to the faculty, describing her recent trip to East Asia. She mentioned reaching out to an extensive community of alumni in China, her visit being the first time that a president of Amherst has visited Korea, and talks of cooperation with Zhejiang University, in Hangzhou, China, to work on programs to advance the liberal arts in China.
