In particular, I am proud to see the progress we have been making in raising grant funds to support these activities, as well as some significant milestones such as the 50th anniversary in two of our academic units. These are significant achievements that bring more recognition to our university and make a positive difference in our recruitment efforts.<br>If you missed the Academic Convocation, in my remarks I shared both some of our collective successes and new and continuing challenges we must address together.
