Thanks to all of you who attended the recent Town Hall meeting. If you were unable to attend, note that a copy of my PowerPoint presentation, as well as a recording of the meeting, is available via this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was pleased to be able to share with you the good news regarding the positive trend in our enrollment for both the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. Your recruitment efforts are making a difference.<\/p>\n

Again, I want to thank the Ad Hoc Committee on Budget Sustainability for their time and effort. They have made good progress, and I look forward to additional recommendations from this group. I encourage you to submit your questions, comments, and\/or ideas to this committee via this link<\/a>. We are making progress, but there\u2019s a lot more work to be done. We need everyone\u2019s input and ideas to help us reach our goal.<\/p>\n

As I shared in the Town Hall meeting, we have a lot of personnel changes taking place across campus. I have provided below the list of searches that will be underway soon, as well as recent personnel changes in administrative roles:<\/p>\n
