• As the university prepares to start a new semester with record enrollment, I hope everyone took time to relax and enjoy their summer. I'm looking forward to an exciting semester, and to kicking off Weeks of Welcome and some of the other initiatives covered during our division meeting last week. In the meantime, remember why we're here: to take care of students and create experiences and memories that will linger long after their time with us ends. Thanks again for all you do to make UTD and Student Affairs feel like a place where our students belong!
