Faculty Colleagues,

For the past few years, we have started the fall semester with a Monday night reception and annual Fall Faculty Forum. While we cannot hold these events as we have in the past, technology provides a means for us to connect in other ways.

I invite you to join me on August 18, beginning at 9 a.m., for a virtual welcome back event to celebrate a new semester, recognize your accomplishments and service to the University, and provide you with updates.

More specific details on joining the event will be shared with you in the near future.

George Ellenberg
Provost and Senior Vice President
