Chancellor Boschini announced to students, parents, faculty and staff today that the university intends for students to safely return to campus for the fall 2020 semester, with a planned start date of Aug. 24.

As our semester comes to a close, I want you to know that even though we have been apart, you have been present in my thoughts and daily prayers. I’ve had you with me every step of the way. You are the source of our inspiration and the heartbeat of our vibrant campus community.

Thank you! As we near the last day of class, I continue to marvel at how much you have accomplished despite unprecedented challenges, not seen in our lifetimes. I continue to feel blessed to be within the Horned Frog community and hope the end of the semester will allow you a much-needed break and a chance to rejuvenate.
