Welcome to Spring semester! I hope you had a restful winter break and peaceful holiday celebrations. The Fall Semester brought unprecedented fear, pain, and change, and the break couldn’t have come soon enough! I love the new year—it brings opportunities for new beginnings, and I believe that we—as a University—will emerge even better and stronger! It will take all of us working together to make that happen. I hope you’re ready to start anew, recharged and refreshed.
