Sabbatical is a wonderful part of the academic life. It is a tradition where on
every seventh year scholars are given time, uninterrupted by teaching and
administrative duties, to read, research and write. I give thanks for this gift of
scholarship, and I dedicate my writing to those at my university and faculty
association who preserve this important tradition.
