Pictures of food. That is what I will remember the most. Well, more accurately, students taking pictures of food. Pictures of paella. Pictures of squid. Pictures of cheesecake.

We Have a Plan
As you know, since September we have been working on a two-year extension of our strategic plan. Based on input from across the Suffolk community over the past five months, we drafted a revised plan intended to guide our work through 2019.

Update from the December Board of Trustees Meeting
As we approach the last few days of the fall semester, I want to give you a quick update on the second Board of Trustees meeting (and associated activities) of the year, which was held Dec. 8 and 9. While there were only a few action items on the agenda, this was a busy meeting […]

I can’t think of a time when it has been more important to talk about diversity, inclusion, and social justice at this University. Tragedies that continue to take place across the country involving the killing of black men – most recently in Tulsa, Okla., and Charlotte, N.C. – are causing anguish, not just in those […]
The Word You Long to Hear: Raises
It’s important that faculty and staff know how much this institution values your hard work. There are many ways that we can show that, from remembering to say a simple thank you to honoring individuals with recognition awards or events. Those are all important. But equally important (some might argue more), we need to be […]
