Season’s Greetings,
As we move into the final weeks of our fall 2020 semester, I would like to acknowledge the work of our wonderful students, staff, and faculty members across IU during this unprecedented time. While Zoom fatigue is real, the ways we have come together in this virtual environment to support and uplift one another is nothing short of inspiring. Through online Zoom workshops, virtual Q&As, and performances, we continue to build and maintain community connections that help us through this pandemic.

During this holiday season, I encourage you to celebrate these connections and take a moment to appreciate the people in our lives who make it better.
Warm Regards,

2021 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
As we prepare to
celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. on January 18, 2021, we do so against a backdrop of great division in America. In the face of this adversity, Dr. King's ideals of equality, diversity, and love are more important and relevant than ever.
IU's 2021 theme, "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community,” the title of Martin Luther King’s final book, underscores this very sentiment with virtual programs, workshops, and opportunities exemplifying the humane causes espoused by this great civil rights leader.
