(This email from President Cheryl Roberts was sent to all employees on Tuesday, Nov. 24)

Dear Colleagues,

It’s hard to believe there are only a few weeks left before the end of autumn quarter. It’s even harder to grasp that we are about to enter the holiday season. Every day, I am mindful of how dedicated you are to providing the best learning and working experiences for students and for each other. Your courage to ask fundamental questions helps us all stay focused on what’s important – improving and expanding student learning. For this, I am thankful.

When the Adams and Roberts’ families gather during this Thanksgiving weekend, and we go around the table to say our blessings for this year, please know you and the work we do together will be one of mine.

May this Thanksgiving be filled with good memories of family and friends!

With warmest regards,

Cheryl
