It is that time of year when the rapid pace of our lives catches up with us, as the semester ends and the Holidays arrive. It is a time of great expectations both personally and professionally. For the MGA community, this is an intense period. Students have finals pressure, faculty have high grading loads, and staff are preparing for commencement ceremonies. With a goal of bringing 2022 to a successful close, it is important we are stewards of time and purpose, and I propose that there are at least three aspects of this we consider: 1) the present, which demands our attention, 2) the past, which we learn from, and 3) the future, which compels us to prepare.
