Recent Letter from Fr. Holtschneider

A recent letter from Father Holtschneider to the DePaul Community:

Dear Colleagues, As I begin my five-month sabbatical at Harvard University later this week, I wanted to take a moment to wish you a terrific fall quarter. I am looking forward to shifting more of my time toward writing and teaching, and I will miss our community and all of you who make DePaul an extraordinary place. DePaul is in good hands as Dr. Patricia O’Donoghue assumes the interim presidency. I know she will benefit from DePaul’s highly capable senior team and that she will be able to count on all of you. Thank you for your continued dedication and hard work, which never fails to move my heart. Each summer, as we prepare the annual report on the university’s activities, I marvel at the many extraordinary initiatives which are growing and bettering this university in wonderful ways.  Even today, alumni tell me how much the university has changed “since their time,”and they’re right. All of this is your work. I look forward to returning to DePaul in January reinvigorated and ready to continue working alongside you. Please enjoy the rest of your summer and have a wonderful beginning to the 2014-15 academic year. God bless you, Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M. President Source: University email, July 29, 2014
