Dear CNAS faculty, staff, students and your families,

The holiday season provides time for us to reflect on the year and to be thankful and grateful for our family and friends. In our college, this extends to the individual and collective achievements we have made in our teaching and research and, after more completely emerging from the pandemic, re-establishing our connections to our campus and to each other. I am grateful for your patience, determination, and helpfulness to all that has helped us throughout the year.

On behalf of all of us at CNAS, I thank you for your support to your college and to each other, and hope that you will find peace, happiness, and relaxation with your families over the holiday break.

Gratefully yours,
Peter
