Can you feel it? I can! It\u2019s the energy of summer, the excitement of meeting up with friends and family, and the enthusiasm of a bright future! As I stop by our WSU-Rochester offices, I notice that our smiles seem a little bit bigger. The faculty and students are thrilled to see each other. It is exciting to see our campus community coming back together with confidence in our futures and our work.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With all this excitement, I feel like having a party and dancing around Rochester! Join me and the WSU-Rochester community as we welcome students back to our quality academic programs. Together we can expand opportunities… and get ready to rock! <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, none of this is possible without widespread vaccinations. Rock responsibly! If you are not yet fully vaccinated, WSU strongly recommends that you get a vaccine<\/a><\/strong> if you are eligible.<\/p>\n

We will continue to rock right into the fall semester. We are back in the classroom on August 23. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
