 Welcome!
Dear
Faculty and Staff,
The
purpose of this e-newsletter is to keep you informed about the
transitions and continuing developments within the College and
University.
Change
has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the
fearful it is threatening because it means things will get worse. To
the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the
confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make
things better. ~ King
Whitney, Jr.
