Happy first Friday! It’s November. The sun is shining and the air is warm. Hardly seems like the day that is the average first day of snow in Fort Collins, does it? (Or is that November 2? Well you get the point!). Hey some great news to talk about all around. First, Allison has been […]
And now we have completed the last full week of October. Talk about scary! Who needs Halloween when you look at the days that have flown by, the work we have done, and the work left to do. And, lord willing, the fun we still have in front of us as well. Lots of cool […]
Just a short note today. Seems like the weeks get shorter and shorter and time goes faster and faster. Does it seem that way to you too? Hey, it’s been a really wonderful week though. Had lots of fun having alumni on campus meeting with our undergraduates. They came—as our alumni do—from all walks of […]
Welcome to Homecoming weekend. Were any of you wondering about the streamers in the coffee shop? Carol let me know it was in celebration of Homecoming. I am a little slow on the uptake sometimes! As always, I have great news to report about members of our community. First, our alumna Min Kim will receive […]
When you get this I am pretty sure it will still be Friday. I will admit, part of me forgot today was Friday. Not the part of me that knows I teach and play basketball on Friday, but nearly every other part. That happen to you ever? Those that know me at all well know […]
Well it really does feel like fall doesn’t it? A bit overcast, cooler, and the days are shorter. We must be well into fall semester. As in nearly five weeks into fall semester! Amazing. I spent a good bit of the day yesterday clearing the way for ACT Human Rights Film Festival. We are hosting […]
What a gorgeous day out, right? Sunny. Warm. A classic late summer day in Colorado. We are lucky, aren’t we? How about a focus on graduate students today? Some of you saw this note from the college Canvas folks about Michael: For our first installment of “CLA Awesome”, instructor Michael Visconti (TA in Communication Studies) […]
Linda Cates arrived at CSU in 1967 as a 21-year-old transfer student from the University of Colorado. She was married with an 18-month-old daughter to support and had no financial means to pay for college other than work-study jobs and student loans. At the time, no scholarships existed to help nontraditional students. “I certainly could’ve […]
I hope all is well! We are cruising to the end of week three. Isn’t that remarkable? I think I often start these Friday notes with exclamations about how fast the year is going. I have already started that habit again this year. Yikes! I am not sure I have lots and lots to report […]
I hope all of you are well and you have had a wonderful week. I just want to touch base quickly this Friday. I am journeying from my familial home of Walla Walla where I have attended the memorial service of Solanage “Solita” Henderson, the mother of the first friend I remember having. One year […]
