A Message from the Vice Chancellor
Hi, Student Affairs team!
If you're like me, sometimes you enjoy music to keep you company, particularly as we have been spending more time at home. I put together a playlist of some of the songs that have been on repeat at my house lately. I hope you'll give it a listen and find some tracks to add to your own playlist. What have you been listening to lately? Share it, and we will compile a Student Affairs staff soundtrack.
I hope you all enjoy your well-deserved day off tomorrow -- have a wonderful long weekend!
Thanks for all you do!
Amy
