Dear Colleague,

Grades have been submitted, Commencement done and now we can think of warm days, sunshine, and beach reading.  

We want to send you off on summer break with some joy.  This past academic year has not been easy – masks on, masks off, student absences, late assignments and zoom meetings - through it all you persevered.   Somedays were harder than others.
