Dear SEHD Faculty, Staff, Students, Family, Friends and Alumni,
It is hard to believe we made it here - the start of a new academic year that looks *almost* like what it looked like in 2019. As I have mentioned to several people, it feels a bit like we went from hibernation to being "back" in zero to 60 m.p.h. I am incredibly excited to start the fall term with students actively on campus, faculty visibly preparing for classes, and staff members re-establishing or creating new routines - and all of us together to tangibly drive our mission of transformation through education in person, and in community. We have learned a great deal over the past year - about how to better utilize technology, how to quickly innovate pedagogically, and how to engage remotely. We will incorporate these opportunities as we move forward with a full array of teaching, learning and working tools to draw from and, we will do so safely as the pandemic continues to affect our lives. Please reach out and let us know how you have been affected, how you may have learned, or taught or evolved in specific ways by sending us an email at SEHDEngagement@miami.edu. And, please join us in celebrating the start of a new school year!
All my best,
Laura
Dean, School of Education and Human Development
