December 2019 Newsletter

When I think of summing up 2019, it’s hard to know where to start. Without a doubt, this has been one of the most challenging years of my professional life. At the same time, in the midst of unimaginable tragedy and chaos, we’ve also experienced some pretty amazing and reaffirming events, and I’ve been reminded once again of how special Niner Nation really is. So here’s a snapshot of some of the highlights of the year and what we’re looking forward to in the months to come.

If you would like more information on any item covered here, please contact my senior executive assistant, Shari Dunn, or check the Chancellor’s Outbox.  

In closing, I wish each of you a peaceful holiday surrounded by those you love. Lisa and I plan to enjoy a few days in the Bahamas watching our football team win its first bowl game; and then spending some time enjoying and spoiling our grandbabies in Atlanta and our new puppy, Bogey. And then we’ll head back to campus to start my final semester at UNC Charlotte. Let’s make it a great one!

Go Niners!
