 Greetings, everyone. I thought it was time I'd check in again. November is here, and we are too. And that was not to be taken for granted. The fact that we have operated this long under conditions of safety and relative academic interaction was something many people doubted any. University R-sized could bring on. So I need to start, again, with thanks first to our students. Not merely for your compliance and fidelity to the Purdue Pledge, but to the leadership you've shown in encouraging yourselves, your fellow students, and all of us to do likewise. And to our faculty and staff, thank you also for a terrific performance that many people elsewhere have noted. Now, all that said, honestly, I'm concerned as November arrives, and I think with good reason. The virus is up all over the world. That's true in the state and in the community that we live in. And last weekend, apart from a great Boiler Maker comeback win, we really did not experience our finest moments. We had too many incidents of departures from the Purdue Pledge. The vast majority of our students, yes, maintained the discipline and stuck with the prescribed behaviors. But as we've all learned, it only takes a few bad events to cause a real problem that is university-wide. This weekend, got another big game coming, another Boiler Maker win we're looking forward to, and we've got Halloween. We need to do better than we did. So I'm asking you, please, remember that when you stick to the Pledge, you're not just taking care of yourself, you're taking care of everybody else and this entire institution. Now, next week, by popular demand and a really good idea, we're going to have Reading Day. The forecast is terrific. I hope the weatherman is right. If we get a day that nice, it'll be a chance for everybody, but especially our students to catch their breath, maybe kick back a little bit, and contemplate really what we all have accomplished so far together. Then we'll have a next challenge as we face the last three weeks. We'll be asking you to remember to protect yourselves with special care. We don't want anybody to take this virus home and watch for ways in which you can get tested and make sure that that doesn't happen in your hometown or family. Look, I know you're tired of what we've all had to go through and what we've asked you as students in particular to go through. We all are. But we are on the verge of a really serious accomplishment here and it'll be your achievement if and when we make it. I'm very proud to be associated with the students, faculty and staff of this university for the way you've all conducted yourselves these last several weeks. I just know if we maintain our vigilance, I'll be that proud to come this Thanksgiving.
