课堂笔记，2020年8月
亲爱的校友、捐助者、同事和朋友们:
By any stretch of the imagination, 2020 has been a dramatic 和 historic year. 全球大流行. 种族歧视. 社会抗议. Our present realities have focused consciousness 和 have consumed our attention in new ways. 离家更近, the college has sought to respond to these challenges 和 re-invent university education under incredible circumstances, altering the fundamental means by which we teach our students. An enormous amount of energy has gone into welcoming them back 和 serving their needs. Our goal has been to maintain our tradition of academic excellence while balancing community health 和 safety needs. The road before us is tough, but we have amazing students, faculty 和 staff. 我们致力于我们的集体福祉. 在过去的几周里, 因为我会见了学生和他们的家人, I have been overwhelmed by their hopeful spirit 和 commitment to our institution’s future. In times of pestilence — to evoke the novelist Albert Camus — we learn that there are more things to admire in people than to fear. 这些话要牢记在心. I hope the stories below help substantiate that belief in our readers. I wish you all health 和 comfort at the start of the new semester.
最诚挚的，
肖恩•米. 昆兰
