William & Mary has become my home over the last dozen years and a place that matters deeply to me. In my first evaluation for President Emeritus Reveley, I wrote that my goal was to add value to the university. That has remained my goal throughout my time here and in working with President Rowe. In this role and in this time, my goal remains that I bring value to William & Mary through my service to the university.

Samantha Huge has been an exceptional colleague. She sincerely wants what is best for William & Mary and I am grateful for her encouragement. I am also grateful for President Rowe's confidence in me and this community's ability to come together in new ways.

Moving the W&M Athletics community forward to a shared path of sustainability and excellence is my top priority during this interim period. At the top of that list will be working with the people, our dedicated student-athletes, coaches and staff, who make this such a special department. I look forward to meeting with each of you personally in the coming days.

We will begin this process of extended dialogue this Thursday and I welcome all of you to participate in these important conversations. In the meantime, my door remains open to all who want to genuinely address how we move our beloved Tribe forward.
