From the Dean

The holiday season offers us the opportunity to reflect on the past year, and I want to take this time to express my gratitude to all the college’s friends and supporters as well as our faculty, students and staff for everything we have been able to achieve during 2022. You are the ones who make all of this possible.


I am especially thankful for our staff. They are our unsung heroes who, because their work is primarily behind the scenes, often do not get the recognition they deserve. But they are the glue that holds us together, the ones who provide us the support that makes our success possible. Earlier this week, we took time to express our appreciation for all they do when we honored the best of our best. We cannot thank them nor all of our staff enough for everything they do for us.


Finally, I want to wish all of you a happy holiday season filled with much happiness and good cheer. Enjoy spending time with your family and friends. I appreciate you, our alumni and supporters, for your generosity throughout the past year and wish you the very best in the new year.


Go Tigers!

Sincerely,

Anand K. Gramopadhye, Dean
