Campus Updates 12/1/23

Events and News 

Hello folks, hope all are well. Here we are back from the Thanksgiving break and of course busy as ever! 

This week has been spent mostly here on campus at my desk doing emails, and in a lot of meetings (I imagine many can relate).  I’m excited about the great work you all have done on the strategic plan, and watching it evolve has been fun to see. 

I can’t believe it’s December already! I hope you all have great plans for the break.  Mine are a bit up in the air at the moment, but I can tell you it will not involve driving long distances… Had a great time visiting with my in-laws, niece and nephews in the Sacramento area over Thanksgiving, but the drive- too much in a short period! Have a great rest of your week.  

Cheers, 

Jack
