merge (“FIRST_NAME”), With the completion of the spring semester last week, we have now officially persevered through an entire academic year operating during a pandemic. Our staff in the Division of Student Affairs did a remarkable job continuing to serve our students under challenging circumstances, navigating the many social justice issues happening across our nation, and going above and beyond to ensure that our students would still have a successful academic year. It is truly incredible how much outstanding work continues to be done in our Division, and we’re excited to share some of those stories with you in this edition of our newsletter. As you read these stories, I hope you’ll see why I’m so incredibly proud of our staff and very proud to be a Redbird. I wish you a wonderful summer! Go Birds! Dr. Levester “LJ” Johnson Vice President for Student Affairs |
