Welcome (virtually) back ENVD students, from what was very likely a somewhat strange spring break. I hope this note finds all of you and your families healthy and doing well through this unprecedented event. I know that many of you are adjusting to the remote version of ENVD.

We will be celebrating both the past and the future throughout this year. We will host special speakers, guest jurors and some surprises.
