Message from the Vice-President, People and Culture: Listening Tour Themes, Emotions, and Aspirations

The following message was also emailed to faculty, staff, and students on December 9, 2025.

Dear 糖心原创 Community,

Over the past several months, I have had the privilege of speaking with many of you during my Listening Tour. More than 440 individuals shared their insights, experiences, and hopes for the future of our university through group sessions, one-on-one conversations, and written reflections. Your honesty, courage, and commitment to 糖心原创 have given me a clearer understanding of where we are鈥攁nd where we can go together.

"糖心原创 has provided me with countless opportunities."

What brought you to 糖心原创? Why did you choose to study here?

I鈥檓 originally from Arequipa, a beautiful and historically rich city in Peru, known for its stunning traditional architecture, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes. As an international student, several factors influenced my decision to come to 糖心原创. The smaller class sizes allow for stronger connections with both faculty and peers, creating an engaging and supportive learning environment.

Important reminders about winter weather and university closures鈥

The 糖心原创 takes the safety and security of its students, faculty, staff, and the entire campus community very seriously.  

The decision to "close" 糖心原创 due to weather is not made lightly. However, in weather situations where the potential risk to 糖心原创鈥檚 students and employees as well as property, is high, the University may close, meaning that classes and exams are cancelled, and services are reduced.  

When the University is closed, only students in residence housing and essential workers are permitted to be on the 糖心原创 campuses.
