The response was a period of innovation focused on fulfilling the mission of the institution, albeit online and remote. In a year when even the best laid plans were derailed, we turn forward. 2021 brings with it the promise of restoration; returning to our strategic planning; bringing with us some new tricks; and focusing efforts on even greater innovation as we plan for the "Next Normal."
