Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a good holiday season and is refreshed for the new semester. As you will see in this newsletter, we have a variety of MPS accomplishments and exciting faculty and student news to share. As an overview, we welcomed seven new faculty to the division, an alumni received a prestigious award, a graduate student was selected for a highly competitive fellowship, and our faculty launched a training program to provide students with real-life opportunities to combat climate change. We look forward to continuing to share new and exciting divisional news with you this spring. My best wishes for the spring semester (and beyond).

I am pleased to extend a (slightly belated) welcome to the Fall 2022 semester. I hope that everyone had a good summer and is as excited to begin the semester as I am. A huge "thank you" to the team in SAS that is producing this newsletter on a regular basis and to the departments and centers for sharing all the highlights. You will see below, among other news, that two of our faculty members were named members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS), three of our students were named Goldwater Scholars, and the Geology Museum recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. As always, it is thrilling to see all the achievements of MPS people toward the mission of our division, school, and university. I invite you to connect with us on social media to stay up to date with happenings throughout the division. My best wishes for the Fall semester (and beyond).
