of Commonwealth Campuses

resources to realize our priorities.
I am also the chief steward of
the Penn State brand—a quality

my portfolio of responsibilities
extends to the 19 campuses... and
will involve much more travel."

that I'll still be working with my
colleagues and the college," wrote

working wittr all the campuses."

scheduling, and staying focused
on priorities will be a necessity,"

anticipation at the start of each
academic year; and, of course,
at graduation ceremonies, I feel
enormous pride in our students'
accomplishments when they walk
across the stage to receive their
diplomas. I will remember these
times, in particular, with great
fondness. I have always felt and
will continue to believe that the
truest measure of our success as
a college is the success of our
students and alumni."

here has been rewarding both
personally and professionally. I
have made lifelong friends and

who, in my time, have become
accomplished and dedicated
alumni. But most of all, I am
grateful that I will remain linked
to the college in my new role."
