My AUBG friends, my colleagues and I came to Blagoevgrad with a great deal of excitement, sense of adventure, and a bit of uncertainty. We left with a new sense of purpose, passion, and belonging. In the midst of tremendous social, political, and generational transformation, you have persevered and remain dedicated to your mission. There are challenges aplenty yet, as our student success colleagues say, “opportunities abound.” In our consulting world, the most precious thing we hold is your trust. Your have shown us what remarkable people you are, acting in community to do remarkable things.
