Dear Faculty and Staff,
After a long fall trimester, we have made it to Thanksgiving break. With our residential students back home, we have officially come to the close of the on-campus experience for the fall term. These past few months have challenged each and every member of our community, and I’m thankful for all that you have done to make the fall a success. I hope that you and your families enjoy a restful and responsible Thanksgiving this year.
