Happy Spring! March brings us the mid-point of the semester, I hope everyone had a few moments to relax over break and is ready for the second half of the semester.  
It’s hard to believe, but we are busy working on getting everything ready for next year. The schedule is already out to view and you’ll be able to register soon.  If you haven’t yet, give your advisor a call or set up an appointment to discuss what you want to take.  Make sure that you are set to register for your courses as soon as registration opens.
And if you are graduating this semester, then this is a great time to review that you have done everything needed to prepare for graduation. If you are unsure, check in with your advisor and review MyPath.  And if you are graduating, I hope that you are planning to participate in commencement, it’s a great celebration of all your hard work and accomplishments over the years!
