Happy New Year!

Here’s to the New Year …
May it bring more joy and success 
And less grief and regret.

To our dreams …
May we never stop believing in them
And taking the actions that will make them a reality.

To our friends, loved ones, and colleagues …
May we take the time to let them know
How much it means to us
To have them in our lives.

Let us encourage more and criticize less.
Give more and need less.
And whenever we can,
Let us create harmony and peace.

To new beginnings …
Let us start fresh, right now,
To make this the very best year ever.

A very Happy New Year to all of us.

—Mary Oliver

 

Dear Colleagues-Friends,

The poem above is one that I want to share with you as we say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023. 

2022 has been a year of excitement, gratifying accomplishments, renewed community outreach, and our revitalized academic life as COVID-19 recedes. Each of you have much to be proud of and your leadership, efforts, and support have been invaluable … thank you. As we reflect on our accomplishments, both professional and personal, let us look forward with enthusiasm to the goals we have set for 2023.

Thank you for all your leadership and support and I look forward to serving you in 2023. Happy New Year!!

Sláinte!
