VICE PRESIDENT ENEWS MESSAGES

As we embrace the good news of widespread vaccine availability for our community and continuing low numbers of cases, I know many of us are having thoughts of fall.
 
The possibilities for a return to a robust, vibrant, in-person campus experience for students are at the top of our collective wish lists. While we still need to pay close attention to our campus and the world around us, and continue to be careful and nimble, there should be no level of shame in wanting to see campus fully alive again and serving all of our amazing students here daily.
 
Yet know whenever we get there, we will also be changed. New approaches and successes we have had during the pandemic, in digital service and engagement, in student hardship support, in counseling and advising, service delivery, and in so many ways, will remain key aspects of our work. Our tireless efforts and dedication to students in this time have made us stronger and better and improved our practice.
 
While I am incredibly eager for all students to return, I am even more excited to know we have that much more to share.
