coe-staff: The Weekly Vol. 50 #30

[Laura Lee McIntyre]

Dear COE Community,



I’m writing this at a time when many of us (myself included) feel naturally fatigued – from the busy academic year, spring term, events happening on our campus and the world around us. As we sail past midterm and head to the end of the academic year, I urge you to do something – no matter how big or small – that will create a positive impact. We have over 700 employees in the College of Education. Imagine how those tiny acts of positivity will add up!



Thank you for being a community that cares.



With gratitude,

Laura Lee
