As the fall semester winds to a close, I want to thank all of our friends and alumni for your support throughout the year. As you can glimpse from the stories below, which cover only a single semester, our students, faculty and alumni have been engaging the world in meaningful ways.
I have seen some of you at events throughout the year, and I hope to see more of you in the new year. If you know of classmates who aren't in touch with the School, please encourage them to attend the next alumni event in their area, or sign up to receive updates from us.
Best Wishes,
Michael Lykoudis
