Fall semester 2012 officially under way

This is my favorite time of year.

Last night, there was a spectacular cookout at the RiverPark campus, with more than 400 in attendance to help usher in the new academic year. Coinciding with this was a series of intramural events on the main campus that saw huge crowds as well.

Today, Professor Joseph Golden totally mesmerized a packed house at Legacy Hall with his performance on the Jordan Organ. This was a treat for all in attendance. Also today, Lauren and I had the great pleasure and honor of hosting the "O Team". These orientation leaders, are incredibly gifted CSU students working under the direction of Collins Brown and with the overall guidance of Dr. Kimberly McElveen. This annual event is our modest offer of "thank you" to these students who make the transition for incoming freshmen so much  more palatable.

Tomorrow, Monday, August 13, we are off and running.
