As a student in the throes of finals this time of year, I would think about Henry Ford who said, 鈥淲hether you think you can, or you think you can鈥檛 鈥 you鈥檙e right.鈥

As we rush to听meet deadlines during the semester wind-down, we can often get caught up in what鈥檚 happening around us, or to us. It is worth stopping, taking a breath and realizing our success is truly up to us and our individual frame of mind.听We each have a great deal to say about our own success just through our approach and beliefs.听 Believe in yourself and your capabilities.

With the end of the fall semester in sight, I want to wish you a safe and relaxing holiday with friends, family and loved ones.

Many of you come from great distances to attend school in 麻豆影院 and we appreciate every one of you. Whether you call home someplace near or far, I hope your time away from campus affords time for self-reflection, recharging and refreshing in preparation for a strong spring semester. We look forward to seeing you on campus for the start of classes on Jan. 17.

For those of you graduating this month, my sincerest congratulations. We know that if you graduate with a CU 麻豆影院 degree, you have earned it!

And by all means, don鈥檛 forget to root the Buffs to victory Dec. 29 in the Alamo Bowl. Go Buffs and happy holidays!

Philip DiStefano,
Chancellor
