To the Caltech Community from Jean-Lou Chameau and Carol Carmichael

As we begin the new year, we would like to take time to recognize how much the Caltech community has accomplished in 2009. These achievements attest to the creativity and integrity of the Institute's faculty, staff, and students. We hope this slide show will help you reflect on a productive year and inspire you to continue making a difference in the world.

This year, some of the resources saved by sending an electronic, rather than a printed, New Year's message will be used to celebrate the contributions of housing and custodial staff who daily support Caltech's student residences. We are grateful for these individuals, who often provide care and nurturing for our students well beyond their normal duties and responsibilities.
