October Monthly Message

It was the first time in three years that we have been able to hold an indoor convocation, and it marks how far we, and the world, have come in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our 38,000 students are learning in classrooms, living in dorms and apartments, and enjoying the rich, full campus experience they deserve, thanks to advances in disease prevention and the overwhelming cooperation of everyone on campus. We are stronger than ever and excited to build on the lessons learned during the pandemic period. Here are some highlights of recent weeks.
