Welcome to a new semester!

Welcome to a new academic year, especially to new faculty, staff and students who are joining us!

I am constantly impressed by the hard work and dedication I see daily from the members of the GI.

Over the past four months we have seen successful field research campaigns, hosted our largest and very well received PARS summer school, and met and toured state legislators and other visitors who are looking to partner and work with us — the list goes on. The behind-the-scenes support of the Business Office, Design Services, Proposal Office, Education Outreach, Human Resources, Operations, and Public Relations, all lend themselves to the efforts of the GI faculty, GI Centers and Operational programs. Daily I see the work that all of you do as the reason for the GI's success and I thank you all.

Thank you again for all your hard work and I look forward to seeing you around the GI!
