Closing Remarks
We've covered a range of topics today from where we are to where we are going. I am pleased to have had this opportunity to speak about these plans because these are for all of us.
I appreciate the extraordinary commitments of so many of us to our mission. I never cease to marvel at how people roll up their sleeves to create programs, lead initiatives, respond to emergencies, make Maryland Day a marvel and maintain a welcoming campus. My wife Patsy and I enjoyed inviting the entire campus staff, about 6,000 in all, to the President's Residence last Spring as our small thanks for all that they do. It is only through our collective commitment to the mission that our University prospers. I am energized by the knowledge that so many of us realize that the University can only reach its destiny by our commitments to the highest standards in everything we do, in every program we offer, in every unit we create, and in every action we take.
Finally, Delivering the Promises is our top goal and this is the right time for it. We have demonstrated that we can deliver the quality and we will do our part to deliver the funds too. It is the first time that the university family has committed together to fulfilling the promise for the University that was first laid down 17 years ago when the System was formed. This is an inspiring moment in University history.
