or Student
proves the incredible impact of our shared commitment . Looking ahead , equity , student success , and operational excellence should remain at the heart of our efforts . And together , we ’ ll continue building on this momentum .
As we celebrate our collective achievements , it ' s equally important to reflect on the personal joys that fuel our dedication and drive . This brings me to another moment from the State of the Student . In answering an audience question , “ What brings you joy ?” our students shared thoughtful reflections : the vibrant energy of student spaces , connecting with others on passion projects , and staying engaged and involved in meaningful ways . With that , I ask you : What brings you joy ? Spend intentional time thinking about your worklife integration and , much like our students , consider how joy sneaks into everyday moments . I encourage you to seek out those moments and make them a priority . Thank you for your dedication to our mission , to one another , and to our students . Let ’ s continue igniting innovation and excellence , united in purpose and energized by possibility .
