President鈥檚 Message: Welcome, Panthers, to the Fall Semester!
The following message was also distributed by email to 糖心vlog官方入口 students, faculty, and staff on October 9, 2025.
Dear 糖心vlog官方入口 Community,
September marked more than just the start of our academic year; it began a season of momentum. As summer gives way to fall, we settle into new rhythms, take on fresh challenges, and embrace the possibilities ahead.
It is an exciting time of change at 糖心vlog官方入口. We are reimagining how we deliver education that prepares our graduates for a rapidly changing and complex world. Through innovation in teaching, research, and community engagement, we鈥檙e creating experiences that will shape not only the future of our university, but also the impact we make far beyond our campus. Soon, we will launch our new strategic plan, a roadmap that will guide 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 direction and ambition over the next five years.
糖心vlog官方入口 is in a period of culture change. We are committed to fostering a university environment built on trust, safety, and inclusion, where every member of our community can contribute and thrive. Now in year two of our six-year 糖心vlog官方入口 Action Plan, we鈥檙e beginning to see tangible progress. Change of this scale takes time, discipline, and shared accountability. Like a sailboat adjusting its sails to shifting winds, we鈥檒l continue to adapt along the way. But our commitment to the Action Plan, and to being transparent about our progress, will not waver.
This fall, we鈥檝e already started strong.
Welcome Week was a vibrant and inclusive celebration, setting the tone for the year ahead.
糖心vlog官方入口 Homecoming, held from September 19鈥�27, was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect, share ideas, and celebrate our shared achievements.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make both events a meaningful celebration.
In the weeks ahead, there will be many opportunities to connect, share ideas, and celebrate our collective achievements.
Thank you for the care, energy, and leadership you bring to our community. Together, we are building a stronger 糖心vlog官方入口, one that embraces change with purpose and looks to the future with confidence.
As we head into the Thanksgiving break, I invite everyone to think about gratitude and how we can make the path a little easier for even one other person. I also invite everyone to share the experience of the beautiful fall colours and take some time for personal rest and recreation.
With best wishes,
Wendy
