Heartfelt Thank You For A Wonderful Holiday Reception

The holiday season is a time of togetherness and celebration, and our holiday reception truly embodied the spirit of “Together As One” that defines our campus. Thank you to everyone who joined and celebrated with us.  It was a joy to witness the connection and camaraderie among faculty, staff, and Trustees. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to connect with many of you, which made the time special.  Whether we were sharing laughter, enjoying delicious food, or participating in the festivities, it was a reminder of the strength of our collective bonds as a campus community.

Kudos and my sincere appreciation to the planning committee for their creativity and time ensuring the holiday reception was a memorable experience for everyone. Their efforts were evident in every detail, creating a warm and exciting atmosphere that captured the season's spirit.
