Dear Jim,
I and my staff would like to express our deep appreciation to you and your entire staff for allowing Admissions, Office of the University Registrar and Student Financial Aid to call Ellis Library home during the Jesse Hall Renew Mizzou renovation.
It was not a simple task for the library to relinquish and reconfigure large portions of your space to make room for us and our many guests. Nor was it easy to accommodate the significant increase to traffic in Ellis created by our staff, tour team and the thousands of students and visitors who utilize our offices. However, the challenging experience was made much better by the kindness and gracious support of you and your staff.
We are all glad to be back home in Jesse Hall. And, no doubt, you all are glad to regain your space and to have reduced numbers and strain on your facilities. Though we’re all glad for the return to normal, being drawn together through the temporary office arrangement was a wonderful opportunity for library staff and Enrollment Management staff to get to know and appreciate each other and we’re grateful for that.
Again, many thanks to you and your staff for welcoming and housing many of our Enrollment Management staff during the past year.
Sincerely,
Barbara Rupp
Interim Vice Provost for Enrollment Management
