From Interim Dean Panagakos - A new academic year full of possibilities and challenges
The concept of making resolutions and goals is something many of us do at the start of a new calendar year. I know I take time at the end of the year to review the past 12 months and to plan for the next year. I am often very ambitious with my goal setting! Although many say this is arbitrary - you can set a new goal at any time - the turning of the calendar is often the motivation. I view the start of a new academic year similarly whether you are starting your academic journey, or you are embarking on the last stretch before graduation.
