<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Greetings all, and welcome to our new academic year. </span><br />
<br />
I'm happy to say that the School's mission of education, research, and service is flourishing — growing in scope and significance, with impact across the globe. <br />
<br />
It is the enduring strengths of our disciplines — and our extraordinary community — that make this possible, and I applaud everyone in the School for being part of a remarkable and purposeful endeavor. <br />
<br />
We know the world is ever-changing. In the humanities, arts, and social sciences, we are the inheritors — and the inventors — of tools and traditions to help guide that change, increasing the human chances for wisdom, well-being, and success. <br />
<br />
You'll find many resources for your work on the School's website, as well as stories about new knowledge, people, and doings. A few current pages you might enjoy include: </p>
