The last few weeks have represented a whirlwind of activities that are clearly reflective of a busy, engaged university.
I had the great pleasure of attending two exceptional concerts at our world-class Legacy Hall in the RiverCenter. Professor Paul Hostetter, our new Foley Distinguished Chair of Orchestral Activities, led an incredibly spirited performance by our CSU Philharmonic Orchestra. This grand evening was followed by an exceptional concert led by Dr. Jamie Nix, the new Director of Wind Ensemble Activities. This too was a wonderful evening.
Other recent events: I rode with our women’s soccer team to Savannah as they continued their stellar season. Jim Morpeth, a truly classic entrepreneur and founder of Country’s Barbecue, spoke to a packed house in Davidson Auditorium in a program sponsored by the Turner College of Business and Computer Science. Colonel (ret.) Conrad Crane, a Distinguished Professor at the Army War College, delivered our fall Hallock Lecture. Our Center for International Education organized a campus event featuring a wonderful range of study abroad options, staffed by faculty, students and staff who all encouraged our students to GO! A terrific exhibit has opened at our Ilges Gallery, an Exhibition of Drawings from the Kentler Flatfiles, and the opening night had a terrific turnout.
Looking ahead: This weekend is our first-ever fall Parents Weekend, and we look forward to hosting both prospective students and families of current students on our campus. In all, a great run for a great U.
