Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,
Not a student was stirring, especially not in classes;The finals were done, grading prepared with care,
In hopes that an “A" soon would be there;
The students have fled to their homes far away,While faculty and staff are left here to stay;With Provost in his office and I in my space,
We have attempted to prepare for a much reduced pace;
As you all spend time with family and friends,We wish you a Happy Holiday until this vacation ends.
On a less poetic note, I would like to thank Dr. Brooke Kruemmling for organizing this week’s University Development Day. All of the speakers were fantastic and the topics extremely relevant and timely, resulting in a great exchange of ideas and information. It was really nice to see such robust faculty attendance at the event.
As we end this year and look towards 2020 (the year of the Optometrist) I want to thank our extraordinarily talented faculty and staff for all you’ve done for our students, patients and clients throughout the year. I really appreciate our faculty’s candid and well-thought out comments as we recently discussed ways to make Salus even better. It’s been a great year filled with many individual and team successes. Next year promises to be both interesting and exciting, presenting all of us with new opportunities and challenges that will help to bring us to the next stage of excellence as a premier educational institution.
I’d like to remind our faculty and staff to please join us for the Holiday Party in the Hafter Student Community Center today (Friday) at 1pm. I look forward to seeing everyone there and wish everyone a safe and happy holiday!
Be safe, have fun and come back with your intellectual batteries charged, ready to hit the deck running!
Mike
