Good  morning,  UIS:



The  first  day  of  classes  begin  in  just  a  few  days,  and  I’m  so  excited  to  see  our  students  back  on  campus!  As  we  look  forward,  it’s  also  a  moment  to  reflect  on  the  amazing  work  you've  done  this  past  summer.  From  enriching  summer  programs  to  upcoming  events,  our  community  continues  to  thrive  thanks  to  your  dedication  and  hard  work.</div>

Dear  Faculty  and  Staff  —



Welcome  to  a  new  academic  year  at  UIS  and  to  our  newest  faculty  and  staff  colleagues.  I  know  many  of  us  are  embracing  Fall  semester  with  a  renewed  sense  of  enthusiasm  and  excitement,  and  I  hope  this  year  is  both  personally  and  professionally  fulfilling  for  each  of  you  as  you  seize  every  opportunity  to  make  a  difference  in  our  students’  lives.</div>

Right  off  the  bat  I  was  participating  in  the  UIS  Orchestra  Program,  Psychology  Club,  Camerata  Program,  and  the  Honors  Program.  As  the  months  went  by  I  started  to  establish  who  I  was  as  a  musician,  student,  mentor,  leader,  and  friend.  I  am  so  grateful  that  I  had  the  opportunity  to  work  closely  with  my  professors  and  help  develop  the  Camerata  music  program  from  a  simple  ensemble  group  to  a  close-knit  team  of  friends  and  collaborators.</div>
