Dear Colleagues—
After much thought and consideration, the town hall scheduled for Wednesday morning to address the College of Business & Management climate study has been canceled. Our next steps will be to seek support from the University of Illinois System to determine another resource to assess the themes of concern in the college and develop an action plan.
Welcome to October! The air is a little crisper, and crops are being harvested all around our campus. We’re fully into the fall season, and campus is bustling with students, activities and other important items of note.
