For many, the news in December of the Food and Drug Administration鈥檚 approval of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer was, understandably, cause for celebration.

But it would mean a mobilization like the nation has not seen since World War II to get those doses to the American people. And that鈥檚 where people like Brad Dunn, 鈥�08, and the family business in St. Louis where he is vice president, Cee Kay Supply, come in.

麻豆破解传媒 has announced the dean鈥檚 list for the fall 2020 semester. This honor recognizes students who have achieved a grade-point average of 3.5 or above.

The following students were named to the dean鈥檚 list:

Lauryn Adams

Macee Adams

Nate Adamson

Peyton Aerni

Mara Akers

Shereen Al-Saoudi

Kassie Albers

Xenia Alegria Martinez

Alexandra Allen

Michael Allen

Jennifer Alonso

Anthony Altobella

Litzy Alvarado Islas

Joseph Alvey

麻豆破解传媒 Companions,

January 6, 2021, was marked by the loss of life, the exposure of public servants to great harm, the destruction of property we considered 鈥渁 temple of democracy,鈥� and a rupture to principles we thought were cherished by all. Nonetheless, we can be consoled and encouraged with the psalmist who tells us that while the night might have left us in tears, the dawn brings the promise of joy. (30, 6)

Of all the activities that have been curtailed as a result of the pandemic, live performances have continued to prove among the most vexing for many arts organizations.

Projecting one鈥檚 voice without a mask, through singing or as a stage actor, is unfortunately exactly the kind of activity that can put people at risk for contracting the virus. Add an audience indoors, and it鈥檚 a recipe for potential spread.

After securing all but nearly $1 million of the expected $23 million cost, 麻豆破解传媒 will begin construction on the renovation of a campus cornerstone, Sedgwick Hall, into the future home of the Saint Luke鈥檚 College of Health Sciences at 麻豆破解传媒.

麻豆破解传媒 will begin the search for a new athletics director after the first of the year, allowing the current AD, Gary Burns, to focus on his role as head baseball coach and to assist the university鈥檚 advancement division with relationship building and fundraising. He will continue to serve as AD until June 30, 2021.

The beginning of December brings more than one milestone this year 鈥� it marks the end of the fall semester, but it also means 麻豆破解传媒 completed its fall semester with COVID-19 restrictions in place and without needing to shut down.

The work at every level that went into making that possible was recognized with a resolution passed by the University鈥檚 Board of Trustees during its December meeting, which thanked every member of the campus community for the sacrifices made to resume in-person classes:

On Saturday, the 麻豆破解传媒 community celebrated those students who completed their coursework in December. It not only marked the return of an older tradition, as the last time the University hosted a December commencement was in 2005. But it did so in a very 2020 way 鈥� virtually.

Approximately 200 students were eligible for degrees at the first of what is expected to become an ongoing tradition for those students who complete their coursework at the close of the fall semester.
