 Sometimes less is more. As you may have seen in the past several semesters, I have
been releasing a newsletter each semester. However, moving forward, I would like to
announce that I will be switching to a weekly column in the Cornerstone which will
be called "Academic Tuesdays." Through this column, I will be sharing some of the
academic initiatives and noteworthy achievements with all of you. Academic Tuesdays
will also provide an opportunity for you to hear from several of the units that report
to me.
