We hope that you are enjoying the long Labor Day weekend. If you see someone working in the community today, consider taking a moment to thank them.

From the facilities, dining, custodial, and maintenance staff who keep our campus running every single day, to the faculty and researchers pushing the boundaries of knowledge, to the graduate/research assistants and student employees balancing coursework with professional responsibility, every one of you is essential to this institution.

The School of Graduate Studies doesn't happen without all of you. Thank you for your work, your dedication, and everything you do behind the scenes and in the spotlight alike.

Happy Labor Day from all of us.
