Good Evening, Welcome Back! We have our first class on Monday and I am excited for another year of tremendous learning opportunities, meetings that run way too long, growing pains and exciting research opportunities. I hope that everybody has a great first week of the fall 2024 semester. I have a faculty and staff pocketbook attached to this email as a pdf. This was shared in our orientation last week but wanted to make sure each of you received a copy since there are many answers to frequently asked questions there. My roles have changed in my new position, and I want to communicate what I may do best to support your in your teaching endeavors.
