And here we are, December 23rd. Iā€™ve seen lots of activity on our site, and so much interesting work submitted. If you submitted something and arenā€™t sure about it, let me know by email and I can answer any questions. If youā€™re still working, please be in touch to let me know what I can expect and when. And keep it goingā€“we donā€™t have very many options or much time left now that the semester is over, but there’s always something, and I want to work with you.

I said it in class this week, and Iā€™ll re-emphasize it here: it was wonderful to work with you all semester long. I learned so much from you, not only through your writing, research, and self-reflection, but from your dedication to your goals and your resilienceā€“or attempts at resilienceā€“in the face of what I see as a difficult time to be a student or a person. I also want to repeat myself: if I can ever be a resource for you, whether right now as you finish this semester, throughout your time at City Tech, or after, please know that I welcome your reaching out.

I wish you all a peaceful, nourishing, and restorative winter break, and a powerful, energetic, and transformative Spring 2023 semester.
