Welcome Back
Vice Chair-Elect Elise Miller-Hooks, Senators, faculty, staff, students and guests, and my best friend Patsy, it is my pleasure, as always, to address you at the start this new academic year. Each year and each new class brings renewed energy and great anticipation of the surprises that lie ahead. And that's just in the president's office!
I personally thank the Senate for our remarkable partnership and its enthusiasm for working together with the administration to advance our university. Our partnership over the decade of my presidency has been unusual among universities in its collegiality and achievements.
Our blossoming university offers so much for me to speak about today that I must apologize in advance to all who have done so much for it but will not be mentioned. Respect for the time and stamina of the Senators compels me to offer only a few campus highlights and not necessarily the brightest ones. I do wish to speak about our strategic plan and how it will guide our university to the next level. A companion piece on the web will cover other topics, and I recommend it to you on the web
HERE.
But first let me touch on a few highlights starting with student organizations.
