Hello and welcome to another CHDCM newsletter! This is a time of celebration here at SHU, since Homecoming was over the weekend, celebrating our students, families, and alums—and so let me first give a huge CHDCM THANK YOU to our faculty, students, administrators, and staff who spent their weekend welcoming our alums and families back for a beautiful set of days on campus! We’re also in a celebratory mood, of course, because today is the day-long celebration of Msgr. Reilly’s Investiture as Seton Hall’s President!
|
We are also on the cusp of an election, and I am glad to be celebrating our democratic process with you all, and with our fellow citizens across the country. Unless you’ve already voted through mail-in or early voting, I hope that tomorrow all of us exercise the right to cast our ballot—a hard-won right, especially for those Americans originally excluded from the vote. As I noted last year at this time, our College and our community are critical to the health and functioning of our democracy; if our democracy is to remain vibrant and productive, our nation and world need the contribution of our educated, innovative, and engaged artists, journalists, media and communication professionals, elementary and secondary teachers, content creators, school principals and superintendents, therapists and counselors, librarians and information sciences professionals, designers, advocates, activists, and more….every single one of us who falls under the umbrella of the College of Human Development, Culture, and Media. Or, in the much more eloquent words of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man: “America is woven of many strands; I would recognize them and let it so remain. It’s ‘winner take nothing’ that is the great truth of our country or of any country. Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat. Our fate is to become one, and yet many—This is not prophecy, but description.”
|
And with that affirming reminder, let’s kick off this edition of the CHDCM newsletter! I invite you to read on and check out the amazing work that our community is doing—and the accolades that our people are receiving! Otherwise, have a wonderful day celebrating our new President, keep your good news and events coming, and have a wonderful rest of the week!
