A message from our dean
Greetings and Happy Holidays! As we approach the end of the calendar year, already midway through the holiday season, I wanted to relay my hope that all of you will find opportunities in the coming days and weeks to take a breath and a break from your busy schedules to enjoy whatever is most meaningful to you. Forcing yourself to take that break can be a challenge for some of us; I struggle with this myself. But even short spurts of recharging, whatever that looks like for you, can make a world of difference, not just to your own state of well-being, but to all of those in your orbit. Bringing that “A-game” every day is hard! I understand that not everyone celebrates the holidays, and that for some, this season is one of the most difficult of the year because of hardships experienced or lost loved ones. I hope those of you in that situation will reach out if you need support.
