A Call to the Bold (and ECC-loving) Souls

Do you dream in braille and design with flair?
Plan weeks of wonder from anywhere?

And turn a Zoom call into a treasure chest?
Do you love when a student tries something new
Like cooking, coding, or canoeing too?
Then don’t delay, apply today,
To lead the magic at CSB!
