As the semester winds down and we begin looking ahead to summer, May offers a natural moment to pause, reflect, and prepare for what comes next. Across campus, teams are closing out projects, supporting final milestones, and beginning to shift focus toward summer priorities. While this transition can feel busy, it also creates an opportunity to be intentional about how we wrap up our work and set ourselves—and each other—up for success.
