With the university closed Dec. 23-28, the SOURCE email newsletter will be on well-earned annual leave until Jan. 5. This is the last edition to be published in 2016.

However, the dedicated Public Relations staff will continue posting stories about students, faculty, staff, research, awards, articles from The Conversation, progress on the State Your Purpose campaign, and important campus announcements on the SOURCE website  every day our offices are open. Feel free to submit news tips and story ideas whenever you have them; we will post them to share with the rest of the Ram Family as we can.

Thanks to our loyal readers, we have increased our average daily SOURCE page views over last year, and readers are spending more time with each story.  We are planning some additional innovations in 2017 to make SOURCE more useful, more informative, and more engaging for our entire audience.

Stay tuned in the New Year. Enjoy the holiday season, and look for the next SOURCE newsletter in your inbox on Thursday, Jan. 5.
