Volume II: Issue 17
New Faces
I'm delighted to see so many familiar faces back on campus—and to welcome our new faculty, staff, and students to SOU. I was thrilled to see so many of you at the Faculty/Administrators' Breakfast and All-Campus Address on Tuesday, September 16.
In case you haven’t had an opportunity to meet some of the new people on campus, I'm devoting this issue of the President's Newsroom to new faces on campus.
