Happy New Year

I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. The holidays were a good time to look back on both the accomplishments and challenges of the past year, in particular the last several weeks. I feel hopeful that the dialogue started with faculty, students and staff, while sometimes passionate, will ultimately lead to a new year marked by open communication and new solutions.

Today, this blog will come back from its brief holiday hiatus, and I look forward to keeping you informed, as well as hearing from you directly, on the new path we are charting for the university.
