WELCOME TO THESPRING 2021 SEMESTER!

State of the DistrictStuart Van Horn, Chancellor

January 15, 2021

Education, like baseball,

is designed to break your

heart.

Tired of being alone.

The Road Traveled

I came from an era where you called a foul on yourself.

Education –

A bold and righteous lightthat can never be extinguished

to make lives freer and better

Stability for the long term…

…and fundamental

shifts in procedures,

processes, and practices.

Higher education in a post-pandemic

world; Don’t resist, deny, or ignore change.

Registration barriers should be gone forever.

Virtual advising is here to stay!

Equity is everything now

What does this moment make possible?

Do you believe in this thing or not?

What 2020 forced us to see

How can we minimize the equity impact that emergency changes might have on different groups of students, faculty, and staff?

1

Are we communicating in ways that inform and reassure our many stakeholders?2

How can we meet our broader social responsibility to support our local communities in a time of crisis?3

What are the medium- and long-term consequences of the pandemic for our institution?4

Our 4 objectives continue to guide us forward:

2 0 2 1We fix our eyes on images of rescue

I’m no political expert, but I get the impression

there is more “pluribus”

than “unum” these days.
