Greetings IC Community!
Welcome back! To those who are joining our community for their first semester, please allow me to extend a warm welcome on behalf of all of us on South Hill.
Please save the date, Tuesday, August 29, for our All-College Welcome, a chance to celebrate and to welcome new faces and re-connect with familiar ones. This in-person event for faculty, staff and students will take place from 12:10 – 1:05 p.m. in Emerson Suites.

This will be a time for us to recenter ourselves around our goals for the academic year ahead.
Our agenda includes:
- President's welcome
- Centering exercise led by Mary Ann Erickson, associate professor of health promotion and physical education
- My remarks and presentation of our 2023-2024 institutional priorities
- Introduction of the president's cabinet

I look forward to seeing you next week, and I wish you an outstanding beginning to the 2023-2024 school year.
See you soon!
