Richly deserved
March 4, 2021 |
Can it be? Just over a year ago, COVID-19 prompted our mid-semester leap into remote learning and working.I've learned a lot in the intervening months. But more than anything else, I've learned how extraordinary, how creative, how hard-working, how caring, how collaborative, and how effective you are, together.
You, the staff and faculty of CAS, continue to amaze me — even as you continue to challenge me to serve you better in my own role.
I know well how much credit you deserve for a year of unparalleled resilience.
How much credit for the fact that, in spite of everything, Xavier can now look forward to the post-pandemic world with such well-grounded hope.
I dare say you can think of a way or two we might more effectively demonstrate the gratitude you have earned.
Today I invite you to join me in honoring a particular group: those of our faculty colleagues who earned milestone promotions during this extraordinary year.
