Dear NYFA Community,
For those of you beginning your Spring 2021 programs, welcome to NYFA! And for those of you returning to NYFA after the Winter Break, welcome back to the start of a new semester and the start of a new year. We hope 2021 brings you and your loved ones good health, joy and abundant opportunities for professional and personal fulfillment. And, of course, we hope that as this new year progresses, we experience relief from the stress, fear, and loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
