The James Webb Space Telescope captured the most distant known star, Earendel, in this deep field shot released Aug. 2, 2022. Earendel, red, is just barely visible in the dim, red arc in the lower right of this field. The bright, rayed white star in the upper center is a foreground star in the Milky Way.

Thank you for joining me on this ENG 1101 adventure this semester! I learned so much from you through your writing, research, self-reflection, and your dedication to your goals.

I hope that many of the things we learned about, read, discussed, considered have become part of what you bring to your next endeavors, whether those be in next semester’s courses, job applications, your ePortfolio, or life. This course will remain available on OpenLab, so please do use it as a resource or reference when that’s helpful.

If I can ever be a resource for you, whether it’s next 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 an energetic, rewarding, and transformative Spring 2024 semester.
