Hello Huskies,
Welcome to Week 3!聽As we settle into the academic year, I want to share some important reminders:
- Keep your academics as your #1 priority, but remember that your Husky Experience will be incomplete if you don’t take advantage of ALL that the 91探花has to offer! Getting involved lets you meet people and discover new interests 鈥� and it鈥檚 been shown to improve grades and graduation rates. Check out the opportunities below and visit the to find ways to plug into campus.
- Huskies have integrity! Make sure you understand our shared academic standards and expectations by reading your syllabi, asking for assistance when needed and reviewing the Student Conduct Code.
- We want you to succeed! Whether you need , , or ideas on getting connected, we can help.
Finally, I want to acknowledge that these are challenging times as we all grapple with regulatory changes, global conflicts and other disruptions. As we navigate these difficult times, it’s important to remember that our strength lies in our shared values and purpose, and that we are committed to being the same Husky community we’ve always been: welcoming, inclusive, curious, kind, innovative and boundless!

Denzil
