Greetings Everyone,

Happy New Year!

I hope this message finds you well and gearing up for a wonderful spring term. This time of year we are bombarded with messages about becoming a ‘new you’ and the focus is often on all the things we need to change about ourselves. My only message for you as we embark on this new year and academic term is that ‘you are enough’. Yes…pursue your goals with vigor. Yes…work on developing productive and healthy habits. But remember that you are already amazing, celebrate your wins, and acknowledge all that you have accomplished. That is the message.

Cheers to a wonderful and productive spring term.

All the Best, Dean Miller
