State of the University Update

In the past, I’ve delivered my State of the University address around this time of year. While it can be viewed as an opportunity to provide the university community with a progress report, the traditional method of a formal address has become somewhat antiquated. In the modern era, much of our news and information is disseminated via numerous electronic media outlets in real time, which can make a traditional address seem redundant. Furthermore, there is a not-insignificant cost associated with staging such an event. Going forward, I have decided to try a new format. Rather than a general address, I will give a more focused update twice a year via a video message. Stay tuned for more details.
