Dear Colleague,

As the academic year draws to a close, I want to share my gratitude for a wonderfully welcoming ten months. It’s been an incredible reception and I’m appreciative of how you’ve made it so easy for me to join this amazing community. I’m also thankful for the dedication and passion you bring to the campus and our students.

Together, we have launched significant efforts that will bring benefits to the college, our students, and the communities we serve. At the same time, you’ve remained focused every day on making true the promise of our mission: We will be a world-class leader in student success and community engagement. In this end-of-the-year message, I want to review the progress we’ve made, the opportunities that are in front of us, and some of the external factors that may influence our choices
