A Message from Dr. Smith
The anticipation of upcoming holiday celebrations and a well-deserved Winter Break has been building all week (or the last two or three weeks!). I definitely felt all the excitement coming from our students, faculty and staff at various events during this Winter Spirit Week! I hope you all enjoy the time off with your family, friends and loved ones this Winter Break. We'll see you all in 2020 with hopeful resolutions and renewed energy. I wish you all a very happy holidays!
