Colleagues in the Division of Student Affairs,
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe students will arrive shortly to kick-off the Spring 2024 semester. I hope you were able to rest and recharge over the Winter Break period to best fulfill our student-focused work over the coming months.
We will be together again in-person next Wednesday, January 17, for our January Monthly Division meeting. If you are new to our Division, these meetings are held monthly during the academic year. Light refreshments begin at 8 a.m. and the formal meeting runs from 8:30-9:30 a.m. On January 17, we will be in Risa Commons on the South 40 — I look forward to seeing you there!
As always, we are starting the semester with many events and opportunities to support our community, as well as share information - such as the first career fair of the semester - with students. Please read the eNewsletter closely and share content broadly.
Warmly,
|
|
