亲爱的商学院：
欢迎来到2020-2021学年。 商学院非常高兴地欢迎学生并在他们开始，继续或接近与我们的教育旅程即将结束之时为他们提供支持。 年初可能是激动人心的庆祝活动。 但是，我们必须承认，我们国家的当前文化和气候也使本学年的开始充满了许多人的担忧和恐惧。
The College of Business remains steadfast in our continued commitment to academic excellence, innovative practices, school safety, and inclusive excellence.商学院继续坚定不移地致力于学术卓越，创新实践，学校安全和包容性卓越。 We are proud of our students for how they have handled this year so far and grateful for our school community moving forward.我们为学生们今年以来的表现感到自豪，并感谢我们学校社区的前进。
We recognize that the first days of school come with a fear of being unsafe for many of our students, both physically and emotionally.我们认识到，开学的第一天就担心我们的许多学生在身体和情感上都不安全。 We also recognize that many of our students and families fear that their language, skin color, and mere presence might make them and their families targets.我们还认识到，我们的许多学生和家庭担心他们的语言，肤色和单纯的存在可能会成为他们及其家庭的目标。 To acknowledge this is to recognize the humanity of us all.承认这一点就是承认我们所有人的人性。 We know that racism and race-motivated violence directly impact the communities we serve.我们知道，种族主义和种族暴力直接影响我们所服务的社区。 As a school community, the responsibility is ours to address these issues.作为一个学校社区，我们有责任解决这些问题。 The College of Business is committed to partnering with all campus商学院致力于与所有校园合作
