Dear Students,
Welcome to Augusta University, and I am thrilled to have all continuing and new students with us — on campus and online — as we look forward to yet another year of learning and serving our communities.
Although this year has come with new challenges due to COVID-19, the health and well-being of Jaguar Nation remains a top priority. We are dedicated to the mission of the institution and look forward to returning to campus to get back to doing business in the “new normal.”
We have been working closely with the University System of Georgia to develop a thoughtful and detailed plan for your return, which includes changes in our physical workspaces, our cleaning protocols, our event planning, and other parts of our daily operations.
There is so much that awaits you at our university, and I hope you take advantage of the collaborative and creative learning environment available right at your fingertips. I know you will be deeply impressed, as I am, by our faculty — top teachers, scholars, scientists, clinicians and artists — all committed to providing you with a superior learning experience.
You will find you have boundless opportunities at Augusta, and I want you to jump in with both feet, grab opportunities to lead rather than follow, dive deep into research projects, get to know your professors, and get involved in your community. We, in turn, pledge to be with you and support you every step of the way.
Our campuses are already humming with the promise of what this new year will bring, and I applaud your commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and discovery. On behalf of all of our faculty and staff, we look forward to partnering with you on your journey.
Sincerely,
| Brooks A. Keel, PhD |
