Message from the Provost: Welcome to the new academic year!
Colleagues,
Welcome to the new academic year! I always look forward to New Faculty Welcome Week and this year is no exception. It is invigorating to see more people on campus as we gear up for the return of students and the start of fall classes. There may be a bit more noise and the need for advanced planning to navigate construction in various places, but those are good problems to have as we make our beautiful campus even better for the future.
