Enjoy the Ride

As I reviewed the Finance and Administrative Services Annual Report, I was proud to reflect on the many accomplishments of our departments. It is important for us to understand that while we share our more notable undertakings with the campus community, we continue to perform our "normal" functions on a daily basis and uneventfully (that's a good thing!). With the first full week of classes coming to a close, the excitement of the highest enrollment in our campus' history quickly becomes our new norm. Stretching a bit more to find new ways of working across divisions more readily, we realize that collaboration is not only our best alternative, it's our only alternative. So please accept my appreciation for setting goals beyond where we've been and finding the common threads that bind us together as a university family. Remember to take a few moments to read about your accomplishments and those of your colleagues in our annual report and as you prepare for your next idea to take shape, don't forget to enjoy the ride. Congratulations on your future successes.
