Greetings to SC&I students, 

Welcome back to the spring 2021 semester. As teaching starts we are, of course, disappointed that it must be delivered at a distance.  We welcome your understanding of why that is.  And I want to let you know, how grateful we are to have you as part of the SC&I community. 

The last 10 months have not been easy for you, but you have overcome many obstacles and continued learning and engaging in the classroom. We are proud of your success. 

The times ahead will be challenging as the COVID pandemic continues to threaten our families and communities, but we must remain optimistic and hopeful. As you dig into your classwork, make time to check on one another and take care of yourself. 

Please know our student services staff and faculty are here to support you. If you need us, please reach out.

Finally, as we look to the summer and fall, we look forward to welcoming you back to the old Rutgers with its energy and throngs of people bustling about on College Ave.

My best for a successful spring semester,

Dean Potter
