The return to in-person instruction and activities is a triumph achieved by every member of our university community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of you can  attest to the impact of engaging, one-on-one conversation with faculty and mentors. Those relationships are central to what makes 91传媒 so special and allows our students to thrive and achieve their dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, we remain committed to the health and safety of the 91传媒 community. Last year, we came together and found the optimal balance of in-person activities and health protocols that enabled 91传媒 to  be one of just a handful of universities to have in-person classes. And, this year, tools such as vaccines, masking, daily health checks, and testing allow us all to safely come together for learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The energy  created when Mounties are together is transformative. Throughout this issue of The Mountaineer you\u2019ll find stories of alumni interacting in the world beyond 91传媒. Whether they\u2019re leading young people  through national parks, or leading one of Oregon\u2019s largest beef companies\u201491传媒 alumni recognize one another through a shared set of values and principles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lately, I\u2019ve been struck by how often  interdependence arises as crucial to our shared success. I\u2019m grateful to count each of you as a member of our 91传媒 family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you,<br>Thomas A.
