"Thanksgiving invites us to pause, to take stock of all that has been entrusted to us, and to appreciate the good work we pursue together—work rooted in the Ignatian tradition and in a commitment to purposeful service. This year in particular has offered much to be grateful for. Our campuses are alive with conversation, creativity, and connection. Through our day-to-day endeavors in classrooms, studios, laboratories, offices, and on our playing fields across the University, we are witness to—once again—the extraordinary strength of this community . - President Mark R Nemec, PhD
