From the Desk of the COO
March 29, 2023: FY 23 Spring Highlights
Even through chilly winds and rain, campus is blooming into spring. I’ve been reminded of the young boy in Frances Hodgson Burnet’s The Secret Garden who asks, “Is this spring coming? What is it like?” His companion responds, "It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine, and things pushing up and working under the earth.”

So, I write today to provide an update on our campus facilities and infrastructure.
