[Laura Lee McIntyre]

Dear COE community,



Welcome back to campus and Week 1 of the term. I hope many of you were able to enjoy some time off. Winter term is busy and we all have full plates. I’m excited about the faculty hiring and student admissions work that is happening now and look forward to continuing to build strength in our community through inclusive practices that honor and celebrate our growing COE!



Today’s version of the Weekly is full of updates, happenings, and events. Please read below for ways you can engage with your campus and local community.



Warmly,

Laura Lee
