Time of Transformation

 

Fall is upon us and with it comes a transformation of weather and a transformation of outlook. This is a time to reflect and embrace change even during the most unique semester we have ever experienced.

Much of our work has changed from how it looked even just six months ago. Many of us are at home or working in shifts. We are missing our students and each other and finding more and more that our work has perhaps only increased with the distance. Despite all that has come our way, our team members have exemplified leadership. We have mapped out direction from uncertainty and continued to test the boundaries of our creativity and abilities as we navigate supporting our students and engaging them in a socially distant and remote environment, all while staying connected to each other.

I continue to stress just how important it is to keep our lines of communication open. It is only through dialogue that we can stay connected to our students and our entire community. Sharing, collaborating, and connecting keep us progressing forward. Something that has not changed throughout these months of remote working and learning has been our commitment to being focused on the students we serve. Through compassion we continue to move forward and model our values for our students and our campus communities. We believe in the power of we because we are stronger together!  As student affairs and enrollment management professionals we must continue to lead by example for our students and the teams we serve.

Stay safe, stay humble and continue to serve!
