Dear Brent Community,

Happy New Year and welcome to the second semester! We hope you had a joyful and restful holiday season. As we begin this exciting new chapter, let’s reflect on recent accomplishments and look ahead to the activities and opportunities awaiting us this semester.

This semester, we continue to embrace our chapel theme of “Practice Gratitude.” Let it inspire us to appreciate the blessings in our lives and to approach each day with positivity and thankfulness for our community, opportunities, and shared journey.
