In the aftermath of winter storm "Fern," our campus and community continue to navigate the impacts of this devastating natural disaster. Our focus remains on keeping our people safe, recovery, our return to normal operations and continued daily updates. I am writing to address the topic of recovery related to the beloved trees that grace our campus.
