Good morning Shyam,  I hope you have been well. I received a letter from one of our MA students (they just finished their course, and we had a farewell for them on Friday). I was overwhelmed with gratitude, to say the least. But even as I read the letter, I felt I should share it with you in confidence, because even though the student does not know it, the letter is for you as much as it is for me. She owes much to you and the vision that you had for the university as well as the freedom that you gave us to realise that vision at the school level. In the rather difficult times that all of us have been through in the university, it is sometimes easy to forget what we are here for, and we do need occasional reminders like this.
