Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,

I’d like to call your attention to one very special event: On March 18, we will host our first-ever Spring Festival, bringing our Junior and Senior continuees in Atlanta back to campus for an afternoon of fun activities, reconnecting with faculty and staff, and socializing with current Oxford students. It will be great to see all four Oxford classes together on the Quad.

I hope you will be able to attend the afternoon’s festivities. If you have maintained relationships with juniors and seniors now on the Atlanta campus, I encourage you to reach out and invite them to the Spring Festival reception for faculty, staff, and students from 4:00–6:00 p.m. and reconnect with former students. I invited our continuees back to campus with this video on our new event page.

Many students had their time on campus cut short by the pandemic, and we want to offer them an opportunity to engage with all of us at Oxford in a way they might not have been able to during their time here. I am grateful to each of you for making Oxford a place our students are proud to have attended. Your outreach to them will be vital in encouraging them to return—because for them you are the people of Oxford they want to see!

Best,
Doug
