Giving Thanks

The last several weeks have been challenging along several axes - from campus to the entire country, the values that affirm our commitment to each other and a better future have been under the microscope. What do we want that future to look like? What direction will the United States take under the new leadership? We don't know the consensus on these questions as yet. But we do know that the campus community, committed to openness and inclusion as the best routes to excellence and achievement, will continue to thrive because of its engagement with challenges at every level. We are grateful for a wonderful town and a dynamic campus - two communities that act as one as they intersect, overlap, inform and care for each other.

We are thankful for extraordinary students, faculty and staff, and we wish all of you a relaxing and restful Thanksgiving holiday. See you back on campus next week.
