Moving Forward Together

A new academic year has arrived at San Diego State University, and I couldn’t be more excited for the start of this journey. It’s so rewarding to bring our College of Education community back together after months apart. And, as always, it’s wonderful to welcome new students, faculty, and staff into the fold. This is a rejuvenating moment in the wake of what has been a challenging past several months. We’ve collectively had to weather state budget cutbacks and a radically changing landscape for federal funding that has greatly impacted both our faculty researchers and our students. The environment all across higher education remains unpredictable, and there will no doubt be more bumps in the road ahead. Yet as difficult as this adversity has been, I find myself grateful to reside among this incredible community of difference makers.
