coe-staff: THe Weekly Vol 1 #6

[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty and Staff,



I am writing this message after a good meeting with your academic department heads, which reminds me to inform you how committed Keith, Jenefer, Beth, and Laura Lee are to the success of their units, this college, and university. They meet weekly for 90 minutes, a serious commitment in and of itself, and fully engage in all aspects of decision making for the college. I am most grateful for their leadership.



As is appropriate for these times – take care,



Randy
