The world has gone through upheaval. Lives have been lost and upended. A New Normal will hopefully be emerging soon.
Our University rose to the many challenges. Collaboration, innovation and cura personalis were our touchstones. New ways of learning and working were created. A New Normal is emerging.
As we embrace this changed world for our students, our employees and our communities, some of us here today are entering our own New Normal with new and different roles, responsibilities, adventures and dreams for our future.
Our New Normal isn’t what it was. It isn’t what it will be. Nor are we.
With love and respect for the past, we as a community face our new beginnings and journeys with anticipation, optimism, enthusiasm and care for each other — creating our own New Normal.
