Hello, Redbirds!

We are a little over the midway point of our summer and are looking forward to a very full and exciting fall semester. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, I wanted to take a little time to highlight some of the wonderful things that have been happening on campus recently.

 

Our staff around the Division of Student Affairs had a busy spring semester and, as always, produced some outstanding work. As you look through these stories, I hope you’ll get a chance to appreciate the many ways our Division works to inspire current and future students while engaging our Redbird alumni.

 

I wish a wonderful rest of your summer!

 

Go Birds!

 

Dr. Levester “LJ” Johnson
