Welcome to spring semester—and to a long-awaited 2021. I hope you had a restful and enjoyable holiday season. Despite the realities of the ongoing public health and economic crisis as well as the recent stresses on our democracy that we all witnessed in recent weeks, we press on with our educational mission. It is gratifying, in fact, to know that so many students are continuing—or just beginning—their higher education journeys here at San José State.
