À¦°óSMÉçÇø

Welcome to a New Academic Year

Dear members of the À¦°óSMÉçÇø community,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to a new academic year after what I hope was a restful and memorable summer. Like many of you, I am so delighted to kick off my first full year at À¦°óSMÉçÇø and to experience the beloved activities and traditions that define the À¦°óSMÉçÇø experience.

As we transition out of the summer months and prepare for a bustling Fall term, we have a prime opportunity to recommit ourselves to À¦°óSMÉçÇø’s mission with renewed energy and a refreshed perspective. This moment invites each of us to begin writing a new chapter for our great University – one that envisages what À¦°óSMÉçÇø can be and what we aspire to achieve over the next 25 years.

With our sights set on the long term, À¦°óSMÉçÇø’s unique positioning as a locally anchored university of global pre-eminence will continue to shape our future directions. So too will major initiatives such as the New Vic Project, which is poised to expand À¦°óSMÉçÇø’s academic clout while making vital progress towards addressing sustainability and climate change.

Over the next year, we will, together, embark on an institution-wide exercise to define further our shared aspirations and vision for À¦°óSMÉçÇø 2050. I look forward to communicating more details about this exercise with you soon.

In the meantime, I want to thank the À¦°óSMÉçÇø community for their generosity in welcoming me into my role since April. I look forward to many more opportunities, both planned and spontaneous, to meet and exchange with you over the next year. Until then, I wish you a most enriching and successful academic year ahead!

Sincerely,

Ìý
