coe-staff: The Weekly Vol 2 #26

[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Kristi Schneider and I had the pleasure of meeting with a couple of generous supporters today, which is an increasingly frequent occurrence as we reengage fully with our donor community. Be assured that Kristi and her team are working diligently and with great effect to identify new financial resources for our college, including student scholarships, faculty support, and funding for new and expanded initiatives.

I will have the pleasure of announcing a couple of donor-funded initiatives in the coming weeks. Since this information is embargoed, I will simply take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the work of our college and university advancement teams.

Wishing everyone well,

Randy
