Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,

Welcome back and happy new year! I hope each of you had a restful and restorative holiday break. I know that we had expected to be together on campus at the start of this year, but I appreciate your dedication and flexibility as we continue to adapt to the ongoing pandemic. As we transition to remote learning for the month of January, the safety and well-being of our entire community continues to be our top priority. I am grateful for the important role that each of you has in providing our students with a full and rich college experience—even during these unprecedented times.
