Campus Updates 10/31/24

Events and News 

I can’t believe that it is the last week of October!   Anyone have any fun Halloween plans?  I do not this year, though I do enjoy giving out candy and seeing all the costumes.  I also imagine there will be a horror movie or two in my future, in celebration of the night! 

This week has been jammed with meetings and preparation for the board meeting this Wednesday.  We had a foundation board of trustees meeting on Tuesday night and Wednesday night is the regular board meeting. I also had a Pro-D lunch meeting with one of my colleagues and I’m catching up on many projects.  I don’t have anything particularly exciting to report but it has been really nice to reconnect with folks on campus throughout the week. 

Happy Halloween as well- I’m currently waiting to see the PCC kiddos- highlight of the month! 

Here is the monthly President Update– featuring special guest Appa!  There are a lot of fantastic events coming up in Nov, so make sure you listen all the way through, so you don’t miss any. 

I am really looking forward to the Giving Table event tomorrow!  Updates next week! Be well.  

Cheers, 

Jack
