As I conclude my time as president and return to my role as provost, I do so with immense gratitude for the privilege it has been to serve this extraordinary institution in a time of transition and transformation.
I must also acknowledge that the wildfires are impacting many of our employees, our students and our communities and have been top of mind for all of our leaders this week. I encourage anyone who is impacted to reach out for support through the channels Dr. Morrison shared earlier this week.
Deep commitment
We are beginning an exciting new chapter in Memorial's evolving story. I feel personally inspired and energized by President Morrison's deep commitment to student success and academic excellence, and by her unwavering dedication to the communities we serve.
Over the past few months, Dr. Morrison has been actively ramping up behind the scenes, listening, learning, meeting and engaging, so I know that as I pass her the baton, she will hit the ground running.
