Hey there, champ! Your OSL told me that you're going to that big football game this weekend. I'm so happy you're putting yourself out there, getting into sports, maybe even making some new friends.

 

Oh, come on, sport. No, I don't think your Dean Lassonde is coming. Yeah, I know I'm not your Dean Lassonde. But hey! Think of how much quality time we can get in! Just you and your Dean of Student Life. Heck, there's supposed to be a dance in Memorial Hall Friday night! You should go! Think of how many cool friends you'll be able to make. Who knows, you might meet someone special, ya know?

 

Ok, be safe, though! Just make sure to bring state ID if you're drinking. And don't take any bags that are larger than 12" X 12" X 12". And wait, take down these three phone numbers, just in case something goes wrong! Yeah, I know, just me, your silly Dean of Student Life being a worrier. But I love you, buddy! Stay safe out there!

 

Best regards,

Dean of...or, yeah, Katherine works just fine, too.
