President’s Perspective: Beginning 3rd Semester

Dear MSP Community,

I wanted to check in with you as we end the week following our semester break. The third semester culminates a year of hard work, and is often bittersweet for those who are in the final months of their time with us.

I know you’re tired and, if you’re like me, increasingly impatient with continued restrictions due to the pandemic. I remind myself that in the face of my impatience I must remain logical and focus on safety first – for myself, my family and all of you.

Yes, it’s been a tough year. Yet with Spring comes the opportunity for hope and renewal. It’s a time to reflect on all that we have learned, and to gather our energy for the final few months of the semester.

I’ve learned that as a community we’re far more adaptable and resilient than I ever could have imagined. As we head into the home stretch, remember that we’re not alone in our struggles. We CAN do this and we ARE doing this – together.

In community,

President Brown
