Below are interviews with the people who have helped shape the Center’s history. From those who were present when CCSRE was just an idea in the early 2000s, to more recent faculty and staff who have carried its mission forward, these conversations have been a chance to reflect on the Center’s impact over the past two decades. Through these voices, we are documenting a living history of CCSRE: the challenges, the growth, the creativity, and the hope that have defined its journey. Together, these stories help us understand not just where we’ve been, but also where we are going in the next 20 years.
