SF February DL Blast 2/19/2026

Happy February everyone!

I hope you’re all staying warm wherever you are! Winter is in full swing, and I was delighted to wake up to a fresh layer of snow this morning, although it’s already starting to melt away. Even so, there’s something refreshing about those first quiet moments of the day when everything is covered in white. As we settle into the season, it feels like the perfect time to reconnect, share updates, and look ahead at all the great work happening across our colleges.

🎓Learning Opportunities

🤓 Today I learned

Since the Winter Olympics are in full swing (who doesn’t love watching Curling) I thought I would share a fun winter Olympics fact:

In 1964, the Winter Olympics were set to take place in Innsbruck, Austria  but as the event loomed, the officials realized that there wasn’t enough snow! So, the Austrian army headed into the nearby mountains and carted down more than 38,200 cubic meters of snow and 20,000 blocks of ice!
