 As we've come to the end of our academic year, I wanted to take this opportunity to bring all of you up to date on the progress we're making here at Fairfield. We had a wonderful day for commencement. Almost 1,000 undergraduates and over 400 graduate and doctoral students received their diplomas. The flowering trees were in full bloom and 8,000 family and friends were present. To achieve our potential as the modern Jesuit Catholic University, we are transforming our academic leadership to take advantage of our strong liberal arts tradition and to meet the demand for advanced professional and graduate education. This past year, we were pleased to install as Provost Christine Siegel. Joining the Provost Office was Walter Rankin, as Vice Provost for Continuing and Professional Studies. Additionally, we welcomed a new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Richard Greenwald. And this coming fall will be joined by a new Dean of the Dolan School of Business, Zahn Lee. We are enhancing our facilities and infrastructure to support our academic aims with many major projects well underway or completed. A few highlights include the creation of an innovative new academic commons. Construction of the new Dolan School is well underway and will be completed in 2019. And the new residence hall and the quad will be opened in the fall of this coming year. This past year, we opened our new Tully Dining Commons. It's beautiful and a great hit with our students as it gives them more space and brighter surroundings to convene. To fulfill our promise as a university, we are called to raise our profile and this work has already begun. We had the largest applicant pool for undergrads in our history, 11,351 students. And that has yielded our largest incoming class to date. Beyond simply the quality and volume of our new students, another indication of our rising identity is our increasing national scope. Nowhere is this better represented than the fact that a record number, 21% of the incoming class of 2022 are joining us from outside the North Eastern region. This has been an exceptional first year for my family and me. We feel so blessed for the welcome we've received into this remarkable community. And as steward of this community, I wanna thank you. Our amazing alumni, parents, family and friends who contribute in so many great ways to Fairfield. Without your support for scholarship facilities and programs, Fairfield's rise would not be possible. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. Thank you and go stags.
