Greetings CU Faculty,
Our goal is to create a beloved community. And this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What an exciting time it is at CU. No matter how many semester launches I have witnessed in the course of my career in higher education, I continue to find myself in awe of the liveliness that the start of a new semester brings. It is as if the window flew open on a windy day, bringing a swirl of fresh energy and vitality.
In the midst of all of this renewed energy, I am reminded of how we come together. New students gingerly make their way into the CU community. New faculty step with hope into relationships with CU students. And returning students, staff, and faculty are drawn together in hugs and celebration of what has been accomplished and what is yet to come. This is a kind of magic that can only be found in the context of a community of care. I thank CU Faculty for all of the ways that you spread an ethic of care across the College.
I also want to offer a special shout-out to the Lifelong Learning team - Aubrey Schabowsky, Deborah Kronenberg, Hanna Lichtenstein, Karen Casper, Lance Eaton, Lizz Colon, Melina Kuchinov, Matthew Spencer-Sutherland, Michael Reaves, Nikki Andrews, and Sage Morgan-Hubbard - for the important but often invisible work they do in support of CU faculty and students. I C U and appreciate you.
As we move into the semester, let us all continue to embrace an ethic of care and a shared commitment to manifesting the Beloved Community.
Sincerely,
Sylvia
