L’shana tovah to all who will be celebrating Rosh Hashanah this weekend! I would like to send you, as well as all members of the TC community, best wishes for a happy and fulfilling new year.

Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a sacred time of introspection in the Jewish faith. How fitting that this time coincides with the start of our academic year! May we take this opportunity to reflect on all we have to be grateful for and set our intentions for the days ahead. This year, as the world continues to face extreme uncertainties, let us be bold as we challenge existing systems, test new ideas and collaborate across disciplines to create greater access and equity for all.

Warmly,
