Here at FSU, we've been delighted to welcome our students, faculty, and staff back on campus this Fall! Events are lining up, student organizations are buzzing once again, and our 1Ls and many 2Ls are enjoying the physical spaces of the Law School for the first time. We were also thrilled to welcome our new President, Richard McCullough<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/t.e2ma.net/click/pxzeuc/dkt3efj/9gwcsg__;!!PhOWcWs!nEf12HlfsYNL8ySd_q2cCjIVY9u8EPfo5eNF3CXUUA9DBz80GJS5gRmLZ1EeFIwpug$>, who left his post at Harvard to take the helm here at FSU. We have had much to celebrate, and many causes for gratitude!
And yet... none of that is to say that all has been easy or carefree. We reconvene after another season in which we've had to pivot in unexpected directions. These remain challenging times, with the Delta variant, natural disasters, political discord, and sheer exhaustion still haunting us at every turn. It's an odd sensation to start the academic year both exhilirated and already a bit tired! Even so, we continue to make it happen here at FSU, because we are resilient. We adapt. We find a way, and then we find excitement in that new way. Every day, our community takes valiant steps to protect and support one another during the ongoing pandemic that has wrought cumulative adversity.
This is what we do because this is who we are. Hoping you are all discovering the same strength within, - Erin Ryan, Associate Dean for Environmental Programs
