With winter break upon us, I want to take a moment to encourage you to reflect on your hard work and dedication this semester. You've navigated projects and papers, research questions and the creative process, all bringing you closer to achieving your academic and professional goals. While the road to a graduate degree is not always smooth, the mastery of new ideas and creation of new knowledge is incredibly rewarding. I am honored to be a part of this journey with you at UT Austin.
