Welcome to a new and exciting academic year. Last year was full of student, faculty and staff achievements. Our alumni celebration culminated in an inaugural Hall of Fame where we celebrated the achievements of our superb alums. We also graduated 999 students. With this, the College set a new record, not only for itself, but for the University as a whole. We are likely to break that record again this year.
This year, however, is likely to be a more difficult one as our state suffers its most severe budget crisis ever. We will now have state budget closure days and furloughs, or unpaid days off, as well as limitations on admissions. Even with this bleak budget outlook, we plan on moving forward. We will continue to innovate and refuse to vegetate. Our students will undoubtedly continue to receive the best education possible and our faculty will continue to publish and be engaged in their professions. Our staff tends to perform superbly under pressure. I am confident that this year will again be productive and exciting.
