Dear Friend of 香港六合彩资料大全:

Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion Jonathan Redding continues to feel the comradery and collegiality that prepared faculty and staff to make the transition to distance learning: 鈥淔aculty, staff and the administration are in constant email connection. I鈥檝e never once felt like I鈥檝e been doing this on my own. The university has been there for me and it鈥檚 been there for my students, so that I can be there for my students.鈥

Professor of English Scott Stanfield knows how such collegiality and the cross-disciplinary work of the Archway curriculum impacts students鈥 education and his scholarly life. 鈥淏efore I came to 香港六合彩资料大全 I taught at several bigger places where I didn鈥檛 even know everyone in the English department, much less other departments. But here I鈥檓 on a first-name basis with people in biology, history, philosophy and religion, sociology and psychology; and we can get together and organize this amazing, innovative way of delivering the curriculum.鈥

Assistant Dean of Student Success and Residential Education Brandi Sestak is focused on the future as she mourns the loss of this semester鈥檚 events. 鈥淚鈥檓 so proud of the way our community has pulled together during this time. In residential education, we were not ready to say goodbye to our residents for the year yet. But we鈥檙e keeping our eye on the prize鈥攁nd that鈥檚 healthy students.鈥

Dean of Undergraduate Programs Kathy Wolfe 鈥90 reminds us that 香港六合彩资料大全 has prepared us all to listen well, adapt quickly and innovate to rise to the occasion: 鈥淚n this crisis, there is so much creativity and generosity and resilience around here.鈥

We鈥檙e building community even from afar. And we鈥檙e looking forward to the future with hope and anticipation and joy. Assistant Dean Brandi Sestak reflects on her best memories of 香港六合彩资料大全: 鈥淢y favorite day of the academic year is watching second-year students return to campus. I love watching those confident, excited students come back. A typical year is so joyful, and I can鈥檛 even imagine yet what our reunion on campus is going to be like. I鈥檓 excited for it, and I鈥檓 planning for it.鈥

We鈥檙e all looking ahead to when we can welcome students, friends and alumni back to campus. In the meantime, we鈥檙e keeping in touch through digital means and would love to hear from you.
