Welcome to Spring 2015! I hope you were able to spend quality time with loved ones over the holidays and are feeling recharged for the busy semester ahead! Spring is filled with tremendous opportunities to share our campus with prospective students, advance our shared goals of engage, empower, and enrich, and celebrate student success through annual awards and graduation.

Those of you who were able to attend the spring welcome heard President Rossbacher describe her guidelines, or 5 C’s: Connect, Communicate, Create, Conserve, and Celebrate, for getting centered and on track to support HSU’s mission. I encourage you all to find ways to incorporate the 5 C’s into your work of serving and supporting students.

Finally, I am excited to announce that Drs. Barb Snyder and Kari Ellingson, VPSA and AVPSA at the University of Utah, will be the presenters for our February professional development workshop. Please be on the lookout for this announcement as well as for other opportunities to acquire, develop, and apply new competencies and skills that relate to our efforts to support students.

Sincerely,

Peg
