As we understand more of the complexities in this world and are faced with new threats to human health and thriving or to the environment, it becomes even more important to practice those qualities that make our college unique. I encourage you to remember the culture we aspire to and value: “We are a creative community that fosters mutual respect, trust and open discourse. We value including and empowering each individual within a diverse, enriching community.” In every aspect of our lives, this is critical if we wish to act effectively for the common good.
What does this mean within your academic program? We continue to build opportunities for faculty, students and staff to co-create custom experiential learning trajectories and synergies of knowledge. In our dynamic and complex world, these synergies may not be the same as those of yesterday (and we celebrate this) as our goal is to develop future professionals who push the boundaries of any one discipline and learn the skills of leading collaborative efforts committed to creating a resilient, healthy and beautiful world.
Together with the university, we embrace a community where Every Person and Every Interaction Matters!
Best,
Kathy

You don’t need to wait until next fall to get involved in an organization – get involved NOW!
There are many ways to get involved on campus that we talked about last semester, including:

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING |
In January 2021, the coronavirus has been with us for just over a year, with unprecedented societal changes. Our vernacular has shifted to readily identify with phrases of flatten-the-curve, quarantine, social distancing, control the surge, essential workers, PPE, universal precautions, contract tracing and a daily inundation of information through various channels-all with a level of skepticism, uncertainty, fear, anxiety and to a degree of hope with new science and vaccinations coming to the forefront.
