Events and News 

Hi folks, I hope all are well. 

This past week I’ve been preparing documents for next week’s ET retreat as well as the Board retreat the week after. I’m also working to get everything together for Convocation to share where we are with the financial updates from the state, reconciliations, and DEI & International challenges.  We will also share some preliminary steps to address concerns and set the stage for some great discussions with campus. 

Cheers, 

Jack
