Dear Faculty, Administrators and Staff,
|
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I find myself reflecting on the many reasons we have to be grateful as a university community. Our journey through the fall semester has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and I am continually inspired by the dedication and resilience of each member of our faculty, administrators, and staff.
|
This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for your continued commitment to our Catholic Mission, shaping student experiences and positively impacting the broader community through your work.
|
As we gather with our loved ones to celebrate this season of gratitude, let us also take a moment to reflect on the collective strength and spirit that defines our university family. Each one of you plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our institution, and for that, I am truly thankful.
|
May this holiday season bring you and your families moments of joy, reflection and renewed energy for the exciting journey ahead.
