Hello and Happy New Year CALS family.

I know many of us have been looking forward to a fresh, new year as 2020 has been one of the most challenging years for our community, university and country. In these last several months, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on what I’m most grateful for, and many of you come to mind. 

I am grateful to our faculty and staff for leveraging technology to maintain the vital work of our college remotely and for quickly shifting learning online, allowing our students to continue their college education in an unprecedented time. To our students who have spent the past year in less than ideal learning environments — with each curve thrown your way, you stayed resilient. You are the very definition of perseverance, and as the dean of this college, I could not be more proud of you.
