November 22: The Pamplin Pulse

Message of Thanks

Dear Pamplin Hokies,

I want to wish you and your families a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

During this season of gratitude, I offer my sincere appreciation for our dedicated faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends who make Pamplin such an incredible place to work and learn. I continue to be inspired by your enthusiasm, resiliency, and commitment to Ut Prosim.

It is hard to believe we are nearing the end of the semester. You have worked hard and I hope you enjoy the well-deserved break this week.

Thank you for your ongoing contributions to Pamplin and happy Thanksgiving!

Robin

UPDATE: Pamplin’s Sesquicentennial Spotlight Month

The college will postpone all Pamplin-sponsored in-person December Sesquicentennial spotlight celebrations until spring 2023. Information on rescheduled dates will be shared in early 2023.

We will still proceed with the virtual celebration featuring Interim Dean Russell, faculty, students, and alumni that was originally scheduled for Nov. 30 on a new date, Dec. 13 from 12-1:15 p.m. We hope you will be able to attend. Those who have already registered will receive follow up from the Pamplin Engagement team with next steps.

In the meantime, please follow Pamplin’s social media channels for special content and opportunities to get engaged in Pamplin’s Sesquicentennial spotlight, including sharing photos from your Pamplin experience.
