Dear Eagle Nation,
As we approach the midpoint of the semester, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible dedication and hard work each of you has demonstrated. Whether you're navigating challenging coursework, balancing extracurricular activities, teaching an overload, working long weekend hours, or contributing to our vibrant campus community, your commitment to excellence does not go unnoticed. Midterms are a pivotal time for both students and faculty, and it is your efforts that continue to make Coppin State thrive. I wish each of you the best of luck with your midterms. Students, be sure to utilize campus resources like the Eagle Achievement Center (EAC) to keep soaring.
With Spring Break just around the corner, now is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and recharge. The first half of the semester has been filled with growth, learning, and accomplishment. This break offers a valuable opportunity to step back and appreciate how far you have come. Whether you are spending time with family, catching up on rest, hitting the beach, working, or pursuing personal projects. Please be safe, I encourage you to take full advantage of this time to refresh and rejuvenate. Together, as One Coppin, we will continue to achieve great things and move forward with purpose and passion.
