Welcome Back - 8.23.2021
The campus has started to seem a
bit more alive over the last few days.
Driving into work one morning last week I was delayed because of an
actual traffic jam! It was related to
new students moving in, and it actually made me quite happy to know that we are
on the cusp of a new semester, and a new academic year…but also a new and
somewhat different reality. I took the
photo above one morning last week. I
know what’s behind those clouds, and I have faith that the skyline is still
there. Yet, the opacity of the cloud
cover might lead me to believe that it might not.
This new year, this new reality
that we are stepping into is similar, and I’m reminded to be confident that
there is something behind those clouds.
Remember to trust those who have gone before you. Listen to those that want to help you. Stay focused on the future, yet remember your
past. We have all learned many lessons
as we have navigated a global pandemic and so many other topics that seem to
have risen to the surface because of it.
I’m sure you’re hearing news about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on healthcare workers, patients and families.
Rest assured that a career in healthcare is not only challenging and
demanding, but also satisfying and rewarding.
Be sure to take care of yourself, and enjoy the time you spend here on campus. One day, the clouds will part, and you’ll get a better view. I promise!
