“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
–Maya Angelou |

This quote by the late Maya Angelou reminds us that actions, positive or negative, that bring about emotions are lasting. As the semester winds down and many of us begin to think about a new academic year, let’s commit to actions that will lead to all in our campus community feeling affirmed. Together we will create a more accessible, welcoming, and inclusive campus community.
