Aug. 22, 2021 Dear Colleagues, I understand you may be feeling anxiety, excitement and a mix of emotions as classes resume Monday. As demonstrated over the last year and a half, you’ve become adept at innovating and adapting to support each other and our students. I know we’ve asked a lot of you, and I can’t thank you enough. I appreciate your continued commitment to create a safe, welcoming environment this fall. Our mission to end inequities in education and health remains more important than ever as the pandemic persists. As our First Lecture speaker Baratunde Thurston said Friday, “Look with optimism at what we could be if we decided to be we, not just a collection of me’s.” Together, we can take meaningful actions to improve academic and health outcomes for all children and families. As your to-do lists grow, I encourage you to prioritize the work that advances our mission and the UH vision to build a top 50 public university. I enjoyed seeing everyone at the Faculty & Staff Welcome Back (see the photos below), and I look forward to the energy on campus this week! Go Coogs!
