Full Steam Ahead - 7.1.08
Any thoughts that this institution would slow down during a time of transition for the university leadership have been quickly dispelled over the past few days. Revised administrative group structures, strategic enrollment planning, and numerous position searches are just a few of the items that were discussed at today's Chancellor's Council meeting. The fall 2008 semester promises to be one of great achievement and progress for this campus. This will be due to both the great vision set by Chancellor Betz and the outstanding leadership ability of our current administration. Hold on to your hats, this is going to be a fast moving and exciting ride.
