How gratifying it is to see yet another class of cadets, veterans and graduate students go out to serve the world. It’s been a whirlwind semester, and I am proud of all that we have accomplished. I believe in our mission, and I believe in our graduates and their leadership abilities. They make the world a better place.
With the close of this semester, I want to thank Amanda Mushal, Ph.D., associate professor of history, for her work as chair of the faculty senate for the last two years. Amanda is a tremendous asset to the college. Her passion for faculty governance and her effective leadership have made her a fine representative of our faculty.
Last week was a time of celebration and acknowledgment of the year’s accomplishments. As you read about the hard work, achievement and progress that we made, I want to remind you how vital the work you do is to our success. Thank you for your dedication and service to our college. I wish you a happy and relaxing summer.
Until next time,
Brigadier General Sally Selden, Ph.D, SPHR Provost and Dean of the College
