With the close of the semester and a successful series of culminating events, now is a great time to pause and reflect on the many accomplishments we’ve shared as a division and refocus on what’s ahead in the coming academic year.Â
As you saw in the message sent on Friday last week, the SCL Advisory Committee has completed work around redefining our divisional values and identifying the priorities we will focus on over the course of the next few years. You will start to receive more information in the coming weeks regarding launch planning and implementation across SCL.
In the newsletter below, take a moment to read about recent staffing updates and news from around the division. Read about upcoming events and opportunities to connect, review reminders from our HR teams, and view resources to support students. This has been an impact-filled semester, SCL. Thank you for your continued dedication to inspiring transformation.
