Message from the Dean, David Cash
Welcome to a new year of exploration, challenge and learning! To say this school year will be unprecedented is already clichéd, but also an understatement. We are all struggling with a global pandemic. We are taking new steps toward reckoning with our past and present racial injustice. We face a consequential presidential election that is being fought in ways and in a context that none of us have experienced. We are using new modes of teaching, learning, research and convening. And we must build community when the traditional ways we know to do that are not available to us.
Yet, as I have seen since March, our faculty, staff and students rise to challenges and innovate in the face of change because public service never stops. In fact, one of the things that the last six months have taught us is that what we do at McCormack is more important than ever. The analyses we do, the policies we develop, the writing we produce, the media we engage, the governments we advise, the communities we collaborate with, the networks we build, and the tools we learn are all critical to addressing the unprecedented challenges we face as we endeavor to create a path to a more just, equitable and sustainable society.
I look forward to traveling down that path with you this year!
