Dear Students and Families:
Now that the second week of classes is coming to a close, I hope you’re settling into a routine that allows you to both enjoy the classroom and the activities beyond the classroom. There is so much happening on campus this weekend, including the men’s football home opener against Rutgers and Coming Back Together, a wonderful tradition that celebrates Black and Latino/a alumni. Please be sure to visit the Coming Back Together website to explore this weekend’s itinerary.
