On February 24, 2026, the CaRCC community gathered virtually for its 2026 Annual Community Update — 90 minutes of track and group updates, an update from our Transitional Board, and simply catching up with each other. Did you miss it? Never fear! We’ve provided a handy summary recap, and you can also watch the video on the CaRCC YouTube Channel.

Congratulations to Jason Simms, Swarthmore College (left), Bob Freeman, Harvard University (center), and James Wilgenbusch, University of Minnesota (right). All three were reelected by CaRCC Chairs to the CaRCC Transitional Board and will serve a 3-year term beginning March 1, 2026. The incumbents were initially elected to a 1-year term in order to establish an ongoing staggered 3-year election cycle.
Thank you Jason, Bob, and Jim for your continued service and leadership! |
