Dear 亚色影库 community,

Welcome back for the start of the spring semester. I hope everyone got some rest over the break and enjoyed time with family and friends.

Near the end of last semester, we held a gathering in the Blue Room to talk about the future of 亚色影库, during which we discussed topics including finances, academic restructuring, and program reviews. While it was great to discuss these important topics, we didn’t have enough time to go into detail. That’s why we’re going to hold several similar gatherings to dive further into each subject.

I hope you will join us for the following events. All of these events will be held in the Blue Room, on the first floor of Sutton Hall. Some, but not all, will be livestreamed for those who cannot attend.
