The unofficial start of summer is here. School is out, Memorial Day is behind us, and we are rolling right into the summer camp and programming season.
Next week on-campus interviews start for the associate dean and Department of Extension chair position. I encourage you to participate in the vision seminars the three candidates will lead over the next few weeks as your schedule permits – virtual and in-person options are available.
In addition to welcoming the first candidate to campus next week, I also look forward to spending some time with our agriculture and natural resources professionals at their annual retreat at Burr Oak State Park. And the week after that is the Urban Foods Symposium, which I know many of you are providing leadership and support to. Thank you for your diligence in organizing and hosting this learning opportunity for your colleagues in urban foods.
Take care, David
