March 4, 2022

Dear Chattanooga State Community,
Congratulations! If you are in seven-week classes, you have completed your classes. If you are in 15-week classes, you are half-way there. Either way, you have cause to celebrate.

Spring Break is here, and I hope you have some time to rest and rejuvenate so that you will be ready when you return to class. 

While it appears that we have turned a corner with the pandemic, there is still much to be concerned about in our world. We are all watching the violence and destruction taking place in Ukraine, and our hearts go out to the people whose lives are being torn apart. The stress of watching this situation from afar only adds to the psychological trauma we have all experienced in the last two years. But, there is only so much we as individuals can control. I encourage you to focus your attention on the things in your life that you can control. I encourage you to take a break from social media, the endless news cycle, or other inputs that can cause negative thoughts and emotions. Focus on your goals and the future you will create by achieving them.

We will see you back on campus or in virtual classes starting March 14. Until then, take care of yourself and enjoy some much-deserved rest.
