Colleagues,
As the academic year draws to a close and commencement celebrations quickly approach, I want to thank each of you for your continued commitment to PSU's students and the communities that are our partners in this work.
This past year has been another challenging one, both in terms of the ongoing evolution of the pandemic as well as the continued efforts we are undertaking to achieve a stable financial future. In addition, I know that we are thinking about how we will hold ourselves accountable for what it means as PSU moves closer to becoming a majority minority institution. Assessing our readiness for this responsibility will be one of our chief tasks in the years ahead.
As we celebrate the end of the year, please accept my gratitude for everything you have done throughout this past year to fulfill PSU’s mission and values. The sometimes difficult process we have embarked upon to review the strength of our programs and close budget gaps has been particularly difficult for many of you. But I want to assure you that together we are making progress toward a stronger future for this institution. I hope that we all will take time to celebrate everything we have achieved for our students and this community.
Sincerely,
Susan Jeffords
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
