      this
      fall
      marks
      the
      culmination
     
     
      of
      a
      longstanding
      challenge
      to
      build
      a
     
     
      true
      home
      for
      the
      Student
      Union
      and
     
     
      for
      students.
      But
      this
      also
      marks
      the
     
     
      beginning
      of
      new
      challenges
      —
      How
     
     
      can
      the
      building
      be
      best
      used
      by
      stu-
     
     
      dents?
      What
      sorts
      of
      activities
      and
     
     
      events
      should
      be
      held?
      How
      can
      we
     
     
      best
      meet
      the
      needs
      of
      increasingly
     
     
      diverse
      student
      population?
      These
     
     
      questions
      do
      not
      have
      simple
      answers,
     
     
      and
      we
      need
      your
      help
      and
      input
      as
     
     
      we
      go
      forward.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      My
      door
      is
      always
      open.
      I
      also
     
     
      encourage
      each
      of
      you
      to
      get
      in
      contact
     
     
      with
      me
      —
      by
      email,
      phone,
      or
      in
      per-
     
     
      son
      —
      to
      discuss
      any
      issues
      or
      concerns
     
     
      that
      you
      may
      have.
      It
      is
      my
      belief
      that
     
     
      it
      is
      through
      discussion
      and
      debatethat
     
     
      we
      are
      able
      to
      build
      consensus
      and
      _
     
     
      clarity,
      just
      as
      it
      is
      my
      belief
      that
      an
     
     
      open
      communication
      process
      is
      a
      bet-

      communication
      process.
