As I am sure you will all agree, this has been a winter of our discontent. The seemingly endless cold, snow, and ice have certainly disrupted many events; however, one annual ritual it can’t disrupt is Spring Break! Always a time of excitement and anticipation, Spring Break beginning next week promises to be extra-special.
Our spring athletic teams will be on the road in many locations. Some academic clubs/groups will be traveling to other countries. A number of faculty will attend professional meetings, while other professors and students will catch up on projects. Some Bethanians have suggested that they will simply engage in some much-needed “spring cleaning.”
Most agree that this is a time of renewal, and regardless of how you spend the break, it’s a good opportunity to take stock of your goals for spring and summer. In any case, it’s a welcome stopping point in a busy academic year.
However you plan to spend Spring Break, I hope the time is productive and enjoyable, and an opportunity to focus on yourself, family and friends. And for those of you planning to travel, my best wishes go with you for a safe and fun-filled trip. We look forward to seeing all members of the campus community return for that final sprint to the end of the year!
