It’s a bit chillier this week than when you left, but at least we’re not living in an imitation of the ice planet Hoth from “Star Wars,” like many states north of us. A special shout-out to you if you came back from there. Welcome back to the sunshine.
OK, so it’s not SO quiet. But what is generally missing is the sound of your voices. What is missing is your energy. You transform this place, and we’re glad you’re back. From my first days as a lecturer and graduate student, I’ve been involved in higher education for 36 years, and still, the first days of class never get old.
