Dear Friends and Colleagues of Humanities for the Public Good,
As the end of 2021 comes into view, we wanted to pause to celebrate all that your work has made possible. This fall and the last two years, we have been laying the groundwork for a student-centered, experiential, applied humanities graduate degree that is rooted in social justice values and that prepares students for multiple careers. Along the way, many graduate students, staff, and faculty members have worked with us not only because they support our aims, but also because within their own disciplines they are committed both to student-centered, inclusive, and equitable graduate education and to preparing students to adapt disciplinary knowledge to any number of future opportunities.

Most of all, we want to acknowledge the passion, commitment, suffering, and joy that we’ve all experienced this past fall. We know you’re tired, stretched thin, worried about the future, and processing all the hard lessons from the recent past. That you’ve kept faith with our HPG vision and kept company with our community, generously sharing your hopes and dreams for re-seeing the world through the lens of the humanities and remaking the world with humanities insights and tools—that gives us hope and keeps us working every day.
With gratitude and admiration,
Teresa, Laura, and Luke
