Congratulations on a successful Fall semester. The coming winter break is longer than normal, and presents an exceptional opportunity for you to refresh, reflect, and prepare. You may be enrolled in one of the 3-week courses, working, or positioning your work for portfolio purposes; in all cases I encourage you to read, sketch, connect with others in a safe manner. We have so much to be thankful for, and I appreciate the resilience each of you have demonstrated, the excellence you have demanded of yourselves and each other, the empathy you have approached each personal situation, and your focus on impact for others. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Warm regards, Kathy

Time goes so fast! We are coming to the last week of the fall semester of 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this semester is totally different and extremely challenging for everyone including the CRP students, faculty and staff. I write this message to appreciate all of your hard work during this semester. The instructors, Dr. Yunwoo Nam, Dr. Dan Piatkowski, Frank Ordia, Belinda Fowler and Jeffrey Henson, spent extra time to adapt the courses in remote learning formats. The instructors invited external speakers and designed specific activities to enrich student learning in each course. Regardless of the challenges, the faculty members still conduct active, creative research activities and community services in transportation planning, healthy planning, environmental planning, historical preservation, hazard mitigation and community development.

Congratulations on completing your studio/thesis reviews last week. It was an exhilarating three days of thought-provoking conversations prompted by your work. Each studio brought a new and refreshing perspective on the future of architecture. I also want to recognize the second year, transfer and first semester 3-year M.Arch students for completing their first semester in the Architecture Program. I hope this semester sets a strong foundation for future success. More-

As we wrap up the semester, that has been challenging in ways that we may have never anticipated, I want to extend gratefulness to the students, faculty and staff in our college. We have shown (as if there would be a doubt) that we are willing to lead with empathy and understanding, be flexible and willing to try new things and remain rigorous and disciplined in our pursuit of teaching and learning so that we could achieve our goals.

I hope you are all able to take the time to take care of yourself, enjoy the big and little everyday moments and to safely and responsibly connect with family and friends over our extended break.

It has been an interesting ride this semester. We have all entered territory we never thought we would enter this semester. As an educational institution this is mostly a good thing. Everyone is to be congratulated for fighting your way through so many obstacles to reach a positive conclusion. This is not to say that you should settle for something less in the future. The design professions have always had to work with incomplete information and deal with unexpected circumstances. We learn from these moments and that better prepares us for the future. The pursuit of excellence is one that includes the ability to turn weaknesses into strengths by changing the way you approach the problem. More-
