CSU Opening Weekend Reflects Promise of 2013-2014 School Year

What a great run-up we've enjoyed leading up to today's opening of the university for fall semester classes. A wonderful cookout on Saturday at our RiverPark campus followed a smooth opening of residence halls on the main and RiverPark campuses

Sunday was also terrific, Organ professor Joseph Golden of CSU's Schwob School of Music organized, with the American Guild of Organists, two great concerts in Legacy Hall. On Sunday evening, Assistant Athletic Director Jimbo Davis and Athletic Director Jay Sparks hosted and orchestrated with the help of our friends at Country's  a huge welcome dinner for almost 300 student athletes.

How very special it was that I could introduce three Serbian student athletes -- in women's tennis, volleyball and rifle -- to each other!  This is one more great reflection of what university life is all about.
