Dear CNHS Community,

Fall 2021 has finally arrived – with students, faculty, and staff together on campus once again.

The commitment of this community to do our best every day to protect each other’s health has brought us to this point. As we welcome new and returning students, faculty, and staff - especially our first-year students, part of UVM’s largest first-year class ever – we look forward to new beginnings and new friendships.

As we return to in-person classes and routine schedules in familiar spaces, we will continue to adapt to changing circumstances and settings designed to protect the health of our community and those we care about. It is important to remember to reach out to friends, colleagues, your faculty, and advisors for guidance and support during this exciting time.

Working together, I am confident in our capacity for a successful semester.

Welcome back, Cats!

Noma Anderson, Dean
