VICE PRESIDENT ENEWS MESSAGES

In many ways, this has been the most unusual semester in my nearly forty-year career. We will be moving classes fully online following Thanksgiving break later this month—another first for me during a fall term. While we will continue to support students however possible in the residence halls and across Student Affairs, this shift will bring another new challenge for students to finish strong in a new way.

We have asked a lot of students and our staff through this pandemic, and I am proud of how we each have responded. Through many continuing unknowns and firsts, we have been resourceful, dedicated, and found strength in each other (even sometimes from afar). I am assured that we will take what we have learned over these past months, in engaging students digitally, in hybrid modes, and in whatever ways students need, and make it work to the fullest extent.

As ever, thank you for all that you do—and may we all remember to give thanks often. Fortunately, we still have so much more to share.
