Campus Updates 11/27/24

Events and News 

Good afternoon! It’s a short week this week due to the holiday and due to the storm as well— I hope everyone has electricity by now!!  At the end of last week, we had the presidents WACTC meeting, and this week the Foundation directors meeting. I am mostly catching up from a mountain of email.  No major community events/connections to report. 

Speaking of community- Cat and Damon and the team put together a new webpage called “Community”.  The idea is to direct folks to come to campus and enjoy all we have to offer in a one-stop-shop place.   

I want to share it here in case you have ideas of things to add etc. We would also love to help promote it with our community partners so please let us know any ideas! 

It’s under “about” on the main page

I also wanted to wish all a great Thanksgiving holiday whether with family or doing a “Friendsgiving” I hope you all have a pleasant and restful break. 

Cheers, 

Jack
