Dear Colleagues,
We’ve made it to exam week! I know this will bring the extra strain of grading, etc. but I hope it’s also an opportunity to reflect on the successes of the past academic year.
I hope many of you will be able to make it to the department’s pre-commencement ceremony at Scripps Cottage this coming Friday at 10 am. We’ll be recognizing the winners of this year’s outstanding essay awards as well as the outstanding graduating seniors and their most influential faculty members. A big thank you to Iris Quiroga for all her work organizing (and designing) this event.
Congratulations to all who participated in the MFA Reading on Friday evening and particularly the MCs for the event, Stephen-Paul Martin and Blas Falconer. It was a lovely evening, and the students were clearly delighted to be able to share their work with friends, family, and mentors. A big thank you to Mary Garcia and Olivia Perez for their work making this evening such a success.
Thank you, too, to all who attended the Graduate Student Celebration at Oggi’s last Monday, and particularly to Diana Leong, Mary, Iris, and Olivia for their organizational work.
One final thank you and apology: to Lashon Daley, whom I inadvertently omitted last week from the list of faculty who served on MA portfolios. Thank you, Lashon, for all your hard work for the department and its students.
Quentin Bailey
