From the President

Welcome to winter quarter and happy new year!

Today, we move from November, a month of gratitude, to December, a season of light and joyful hope.

Happy Halloween! As I reflect back on the month of October, the first word that comes to mind is “full!”

As I conclude month three of my presidency at Santa Clara, the first word that comes to mind is “wow!”

As we approach having everyone back at Santa Clara, you can feel the dynamic energy and excitement across campus. In my video message, you’ll learn more about me and my thoughts about the future of Santa Clara. I look forward to building that future with all of you.

As I conclude my second month as president, I am reflecting on our transition from summer to the beginning of the new academic year.

Thank you for the warm welcome with which you have greeted me as I embarked on my new adventure as President of Santa Clara this month! It has been such a delight to meet many of you in-person and begin to get to know the community and culture.

As I begin my service as your president, it is an honor and a privilege to work with all members of the University community to provide you with an exceptional Santa Clara education and experience.

At Santa Clara University, I have found a home rich in history and primed for the future, with its robust social consciousness distinctively driving tomorrow’s innovations. I’m looking forward to getting to know the Bronco family and to engaging with full heart, mind, and spirit in the work ahead.
