As the fall 2024 semester comes to a close, I want to thank you for another wonderful term and a thrilling Bicentennial celebration. Lyn and I wish you and yours happy holidays and a healthy, restful break.

In the new year, we’ll continue the gratifying work of moving RPI forward into its third century, but I encourage you to take some time in the coming days to look back on what we’ve accomplished together. We’ve put together a short video that, in keeping with our Bicentennial theme of “Foundations to Future,” shows what an exciting year we’ve had, but also gives an idea of what lies ahead. You can watch it here.

None of this would have been possible without your talent and dedication to RPI’s mission. I appreciate all that you do to make this such a special place, and I’ve been inspired and motivated by your spirit and willingness to pitch in. There is so much to look forward to, but for now, take some time to celebrate with your friends and family.
