Letters from the President

Commemorating September 11, 2001

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the attacks on September 11, I’d like to ask the community to join me in a moment of reflection.
Welcome to the 2021-2022 Academic Year!

This year, as you move into residence halls, take and teach new classes, and gather with friends, peers, and colleagues, there is much to be grateful for.
Statement on Violence in Georgia

Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the 8 individuals who were murdered in the Atlanta area yesterday, and to the entire Asian community on our campus and in our country.
Observing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

While I try to spend some time reflecting on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s teachings every year at this time, in the wake of the violence at the Capitol building, it seems especially relevant.
