Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I suppose some of you know that today is our state's 99th birthday, or
anniversary. On this day next year Oklahoma will be 100 years old!
That sounds like a lot 'til you think that we are actually one of the
youngest states, being the 46th one admitted into our great nation.
(They saved the best for close to last, you know.) Maybe next year
we'll have our new Student Life and Learning Center under
construction. I believe Eastern itself turns 100 in 2008, so maybe our
building will be done for that, if not for the occasion of our
statehood.<br>
<br>
<font color="#ff0000">It's also Susie Smith's birthday, (the Coffee
Shop gal),</font> and she's not even half that old yet! Be sure and
tell her Happy Birthday today if you run into her. <br>
<br>
It was wonderful to hear that we got a good report from North Central
Accreditation team. I know there have been a lot of our people putting
in <u>a lot of work </u>toward accomplishing this, and they deserve a
lot of credit for a job well done. It's encouraging to hear that the
students feel good about us, just as we do about them, and that no
matter what happens to upset the smooth flow of things or throw us off
our game, the students are still taken care of first. That's what
we're all about and we have a wonderful crew that pays attention to
that. I was happy to see that when the group was asked, quite a large
percentage of our staff members, myself included, have been students
at this college, so we bring personal experience with us as to how a
lot of issues should best be dealt with. We've been there and we care
about the kids. Congratulations to everyone on a favorable reveiw!<br>
