 I am delighted to welcome our undergraduate and graduate students for fall 2021 and what will be a full Husky experience. Many campus traditions are underway as we welcome new students with Husky's first four activities and convocation. Get ready for Main Street where you can learn about and engage with more than 200 groups and organizations on campus. Getting involved is a key to your success as a university student. Experience the deep connections of our Husky community through the festivities of homecoming. Soak up fall colors with a stroll around Lake George or along the banks of the Mississippi. Keep an eye out for some snowflakes and our Husky's first snow celebration. Replenish in our state-of-the-art recreational facilities and show our Husky spirit as we cheer our student athletes on game day. And remember, help us to protect the pack by staying informed of campus safety protocols for masking up, testing and vaccinations. Thank you to our faculty and staff for preparing for what will be an excellent academic year for you. I'm looking forward to seeing you at student presentations, competitions and hands-on demonstrations resulting from your class projects and research. So get ready for a great fall and go Huskies!
