2020 has been an unimaginable year, full of numerous challenges. But our community of alumni, supporters, donors, students, faculty, and staff have persevered by working together. (See how by watching the holiday video below.)
There have been a lot of changes! For example, students and faculty have had to follow new safety protocols and wear protective personal equipment (PPE) in order to continue their research in labs. And the GSBS staff had to move operations online, but were still able to make sure that our students’ needs were met with the same attention as an in-person visit to the school. But by making these adjustments, we have been able to keep our community safe while maintaining our school’s mission: to equip the researchers of tomorrow with the education and training to turn discovery into life-saving solutions.
And while we are all ready to say goodbye to 2020, I hope we are able to look back on this year and realize the strength we have gained by overcoming so much together.
With that, on behalf of the Graduate School administration, I hope you, your family, friends, and colleagues stay safe and healthy during this holiday season! And have a wonderful 2021!
Best,
Mike Blackburn, PhD
GSBS Dean
