Good morning UIS,
I hope you had a restful holiday weekend and that you enjoyed a well-deserved chance to relax and recharge. It’s the perfect time to step back, reflect on the achievements of the past academic year and prepare for exciting opportunities ahead. As a reminder, this is my last bimonthly newsletter; you’ll only hear from me once in July and August, respectively.
