Friday Focus: Make adventures be all your fault
August 23, 2024
Several years ago, one of my best friends gave me a birthday card with a photo of two old(er) ladies on it. At the top it read "We've been through a lot together." Nice sappy Hallmark greeting, right? But then, right after that, it read "And most of it was your fault." Can you believe that? I keep that card hanging up where I can see it regularly because, first of all, it is funny, and second, it reminds me of the importance of trying new things and occasionally getting yourself and your friends and family involved in something that, at the time, maybe doesn't seem like such a good idea after all.

Friday Focus: What a difference time makes
August 16, 2024
What a difference a week makes! Over the course of this week, I have seen so many people return to campus after summer vacations or being off contract. In fact, looking out my window on Wednesday, I counted at least three new student campus tours taking place and a handful of people taking photos with our Charles Bunnell statue. The Bunnell statue is an iconic photo op on campus, especially when visitors dress him up in hats or scarves for a quick photo. With the new buzz on campus (which is soon to be even busier), I wanted to share some updates related to human resources, policy, and shared services. We have made some great progress over the summer in many areas.
