To our ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ Family,
Saying goodbye isnβt easy, especially to the people and a place we have grown to love dearly over the past year.
Leading ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ has been the greatest honor of our lives. The reason isnβt because of the many accomplishments weβve celebrated together. Itβs because of you β the students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends who make this institution so remarkable.
Leading ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ has been the greatest honor of our lives.
We know weβve been through some tough challenges, and the difficulties weβre now facing with COVID-19 have brought uncertainties and stress for our community and beyond.
We also know weβll get through it, together β¦ because Knights always Charge On!
Katie and I are sad we couldnβt say farewell in person, so we made a short video for our ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ family to share our gratitude for each of you. We leave inspired by your constant commitment to overcome every obstacle and your enduring optimism about the future.
You will be in very good hands withΒ President Alexander Cartwright, whose commitment to excellence, access, innovation and opportunity will ensure that ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½βs brightest days are truly ahead.
In the words of one our favorite philosophers, Winnie the Pooh: βHow lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.β
Goodbye, Knight Nation! Though perhaps βgoodbyeβ is too strong a word, for ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ has become a part of us. Because of you, we will be forever Knights!
Charge On!
-Thad and Katie Seymour
