<p class="MsoNormal">We are fast approaching the end of the fall term. Time has flown! I appreciate each of you supporting our students (and each other) as we race to the finish line. I know our inboxes can get full this time of year, but please read through
 the updates and announcements below. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Later today I will be heading to the AAU Dean’s meeting in Chicago for the remainder of the week where we will be focusing on leading colleges of education within a new political context, navigating and leveraging AI in our classrooms,
 and using strategic leadership to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am looking forward to connecting with colleagues and learning with them.
