Celebrating our Outstanding Students, Staff, and Faculty
We were scheduled to honor the recipients of fall 2019 and spring 2020 college awards, as well as recognize university award winners and retiring faculty and staff, at a reception earlier this month. All of our outstanding winners have accomplished much and deserve our acknowledgement and appreciation; I’m sure you will agree after reading more about all of their achievements here for students and here for faculty and staff.
If you work with or had the privilege of teaching any of them you might take a moment today to reach out and congratulate them via email. It can’t replace the fellowship we would have created by celebrating them in person, but it means so much these days when we find ways to connect in spite of our challenges.
