Peace and joy

December 15, 2022

As exam week slips into the frenzy of grading, we have much to do and plenty to occupy our minds.

Even the quickly approaching holidays may inspire more anxiety than anticipation; how many shopping days remain?

So my hope for you in the weeks ahead takes inspiration from Henri Nouwen's Advent prayer.

Peace and joy to you all.

And ugly sweaters, of course -- which you are encouraged to wear to the Deans' holiday party on Friday .
