Day at a Glance

Hi folks, hope you are having a good week.  Last week, I attended – and really enjoyed – the artist’s reception at the “Through the Lens: Documentary Photography” exhibit. Our students and faculty did a wonderful job discussing their work and their passion for documentary photography! Music, art, students…what could be better?! Oh, and food- there you go. 

This week has been filled with a lot of “regular” meetings on campus with Council and Board prep, one-on-ones with folks, and continuing to prepare for challenges.  I met with the Presidents Alliance for immigration and international students this week to try to help increase access for trustees to advocate for these populations.  More information on that as it becomes available.   

Cheers, 

Jack
