Dear Neighbor,

Happy New Year! I wish you a year filled with prosperity, good health, and the fulfillment of your aspirations. As we welcome 2024, I am excited to share a brand-new events calendar on the University website that will serve as a central hub for all the exciting happenings on our campus. This calendar is more than just a schedule; it's a window into the vibrant tapestry of life at SUU. Whether you're interested in cheering on our sports teams, attending thought-provoking lectures, or enjoying the arts, this interactive platform will be your go-to resource for staying connected with the university.

Thank you for being an integral part of the T-Bird Nation. Together, we will continue to learn, grow, and create lasting memories that define the unique spirit of our community. May 2024 be a year of inspiration, discovery, and shared accomplishments.

Warmest regards,

Mindy
