Provost Communication, Wednesday, November 29, 2023

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday. I hope your week is going well and you are managing the cold mornings okay. I suppose it’s all relative but seeing frost on the ground as I venture out early in the morning makes it a bit harder to get moving; particularly late in the semester, but we’re doing it!
