As we bid farewell to this year, I am filled with gratitude reflecting on my first year as Dean. Getting to know the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ community has been an incredible journey, and each day, I am amazed by the collective brilliance and passion that defines us.

²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ Dean Erica Walker discusses the support systems available to our community and emphasizes the significance of academic freedom, the right to freedom of expression, and compassion.

I know that many of us are deeply saddened and horrified by the recent violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the tragic loss of lives throughout the region. As Dean, I know that events in Israel and Gaza have intensified distress among our community — many of whom are worried about loved ones, friends, and colleagues and who have direct and indirect ties to the region. The safety and well-being of all at ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ is my foremost concern.

²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ is deeply grieving the passing of Dr. Charles Pascal, a treasured friend, colleague and mentor, on April 24, 2023.
