This is not how we anticipated our start, but we are still glad you\u2019re \u201chere,&#8221; whether \u201chere\u201d is Ohio, California,&nbsp; Virginia or overseas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;I\u2019m here, in my office, where normally, at this time of year, I\u2019d be watching the buzz of students and faculty, moving between classes, studying on the lawn, and playing ultimate Frisbee. I miss that. I miss you! I hope to see many of you in a few short weeks, in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re all getting tired of the word \u201cunprecedented.\u201d And so I won\u2019t say that.&nbsp; But, you have a unique opportunity to learn and lead in a world no one has experienced before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, EMU decided the best way to describe our unique place in the world was to say that we \u201cLead Together.\u201d Balancing leading and togetherness is how EMU changes the world. It is how you will change the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we are poised to create a world where public health, racial justice, and economic crisis demand our best ideas. I know we will not shrink from these challenges!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we are ready to protect each other. We will&nbsp; wash our hands, stay six feet apart, and most importantly\u2026\u2026.wear masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What will this year hold for you? What paths will you explore? What future will you create? We\u2019re here together because your journey is a part of our journey. In teaching and learning, we grow together and we will lead together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Susan Schultz Huxman recorded this greeting to Eastern Mennonite University students, who begin classes today.
