As the academic year comes to a close, I want to express my utmost gratitude for all the ways, small and large, in which you participated in and enriched our community at a time that continues to be marked by uncertainty and difficulty. We hosted several stimulating and well-attended talks this year, but a particular highlight was a\u00a0mini-conference<\/a>\u00a0that showcased the incredible research projects of our\u00a0graduate students<\/a>. I thank our graduate students, the heart and soul of our community, for sharing their work with us, and look forward to seeing how their projects take shape. I would also like to express deep appreciation for Nick Gottschall, the Managing Director of the Center, whose vision, enthusiasm, and infinite patience play a key role in making the Center an intellectually and socially nourishing space. Finally, a huge thank you to Professor\u00a0Anand Yang<\/a>, who will be taking over as Interim Director of the Center in 2022-2023 while I am on sabbatical. Have a wonderful summer, everyone!<\/p>\n
