Wishing You Joy and Peace This Holiday Season

December 8, 2022
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

Our fall semester is rapidly drawing to a close, and as we look ahead to the holidays and winter break, I want to take this opportunity to share my gratitude for all that you do to make Purdue Fort Wayne such a special place.

We have accomplished so much together, and we have every reason to take pride in all that we do to ensure that every member of our university community has the opportunity to grow, succeed, and thrive.

As semester projects and exams are wrapped up, our students are breathing a sigh of relief and looking ahead. Some are completing their degrees this month and contemplating careers and next steps, while others are already gearing up for classes in the spring.

As everyone pauses to recharge and reflect during a well-deserved break, I extend my warmest holiday wishes to each of you. While the holidays may represent different things for all of us, they are often a time for gatherings with family and friends, caring, giving, remembrance, and celebration. Whatever customs and traditions you may observe, I hope you experience joy, peace, and safe travels.

On behalf of the entire leadership team, I wish you all the best and look forward to a spring semester and a new year filled with hope and possibilities.

Sincerely,

Ron Elsenbaumer
Chancellor
