President’s Message
By Caroll Ryan, PhD
Our upcoming holiday, Labor Day, is often seen as the unofficial end of summer. This holiday provides us a moment to pause and reflect on the balance between work, education, and future aspirations. For many, this day off is a welcome respite from the hustle of the academic year, but it also offers an opportunity to consider the broader implications of labor and what it means to enter the workforce. As you prepare for your future careers, it’s important to recognize the labor that has paved the way for the opportunities you have today. We encourage you to take a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the intersection of education and work, and to consider how you can contribute to the workforce in ways that are meaningful and fulfilling.
