Greetings Everyone,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying this unusually warm day! We have had some really wonderful events these past few weeks and it has been a joy to see so many of you IN PERSON! The Graduate School and the ADI Team are currently busy working to secure another amazing cohort of graduate students. It is incredible to meet prospective graduate students and learn about their passions and interests, especially those that we have had the pleasure of getting to know throughout their journey. It prompted me to simply remind you of your own spark, curiosity, and passions. I hope you have an opportunity this week to spend time doing something that inspires your creativity and passions! More than that, I hope that you take a moment to rest.
Cheers to a restful and restorative week!
