"I wish I had an answer to that, because I am tired of answering that question."
Yogi Berra
Yogi reminds us that no matter how much we communicate we don’t always reach everyone, hear the same message, mean the same thing or answer the right question. We hope this newsletter helps us with that and let’s you know about current events, accomplishments and challenges that are facing the Administration and Finance division and the University.
Welcome to our first quarterly A & F Newsletter!
Please let us know what you think...we welcome your thoughts, ideas and suggestions.
Here’s to a happy and safe summer!

Facilities continues to improve campus appearance
The Facilities Department continues to make investments and changes aimed at improving the appearance of the campus. Curb appeal is an essential component of the student experience. First impressions and fond memories are sometimes created by the interaction with the campus facilities. Understanding this, the Facilities Department has focused on improving the look of campus both inside and out. Additional flowers planted before commencement made the campus beautiful for the weekend, but continue to provide a pleasant setting throughout the summer for orientation and other campus events. Inside spaces, like the student lounge spaces in LARTS, have also been updated. This photo shows how much the space has improved.
