2019 UC-Coro Southern Cohort Project
The 2019 UC-Coro Southern Cohort produced a variety of deliverables as part of its project. The best way to navigate these deliverables is to first read the Final Report (pdf). It is intentionally short (seven pages), providing a brief overview of the charge, the project methodology that the cohort followed, the recommendations that resulted and the deliverables that it produced. Then, we invite you to explore the deliverables below as they suit your needs.
For questions regarding this project, please contact Maria Shanle.
