Be kind.  Be positive.  Be strong.  Be safe.

 Tomorrow (Tuesday 11/3) is election day. Vote.

From President Smart “Because this election is so important, many of us have strong views on which candidates and ballot issues should win. This will result in some folks in our campus community feeling very disappointed with the results of the election, regardless of which candidates and issues receive the most votes.

Please keep the three pillars of the public affairs mission in mind as you make your voice heard before and after the election. As ethical leaders, we should all be prepared to articulate our values. However, we should also recognize and respect multiple perspectives and cultures.

Be attentive and acknowledge others. Be inclusive, listen and respect other views. Speak with courage, but act with compassion. Give and accept constructive feedback. Understand your environment, and take responsibility for mistakes and actions. Be civil and be heard.”
