December 4, 2012

To the University of Miami Community:

The holidays are often full of commitments that can make this special time pass in a blur of activity. But in between the parties and the presents, we hope to fully embrace the season with much gratitude, goodwill, and togetherness.

Share in the festivities with loved ones and friends, and give generously of your heart and spirit.

Let’s welcome 2013 with renewed dedication to our responsibilities and to achieving our greatest potential in everything we do.

I am truly grateful for our wonderful students, dedicated faculty and staff, and the greater Hurricane family of alumni and friends.

Wishing you much joy, peace, and the warmest of Hurricane cheers,

P.S.: My best friend needs your help. For some relief from holiday shopping and any worries about the “fiscal cliff,” vote for our mascot Sebastian the Ibis in the Capital One Mascot Challenge. Sebastian has advanced to the semifinals, and he needs your vote!
