Facilities

Over the summer, CBHD offices underwent significant reorganization and remodeling. These office moves are now complete. We are pleased to announce the creation of a new part time staff work station, a formal reception area to welcome guests, and the complete remodeling of CBHD’s research library. Additionally, the Center is now setup to welcome visiting scholars who are interested in doing bioethics research within a scholarly community and collegial environment. If you have a scheduled sabbatical or research leave coming up and would like to inquire about availability or for more information, please contact Jennifer McVey at jmcvey@cbhd.org.

Electronic Resources

Thanks to the work of several interns from the past few years, the Center has finally completed the migration of archived articles from our old website. We are continuing to migrate many other types of resources from the old site. If there are archived Center resources that you have had trouble locating, please use our contact form to notify us at www.cbhd.org/contact.
