New students are excited about taking on new challenges and beginning to get familiar with the school, professors, and fellow students. There is a hustle and bustle in the hallways and classrooms that provide a new energy to the school, and the weather is changing with leaves taking on beautiful hues and a bit of chill in the air. Fall is a wonderful time of the year because it exudes change for a new season and for new things to come. Change is an inevitable part of life and as you know this is going to be my last letter as Chair of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health. So, change has also come to my life and I am embracing the new challenges and opportunities. My time at Columbia has been productive and exciting and I have had the privilege to participate in developing an outstanding and financially sound department and school that will be successful for many years to come. I am grateful to all of those that have participated in producing change for the advancement of the department and school.
