Provost's Letter
Jamie Axelrod: (8:47 AM)
did you get a letter from the Provost?
Matthew E Minister: (8:48 AM)
Yes, I was going to ask you too. *smile* I just received it yesterday afternoon.
Jamie Axelrod: (8:49 AM)
Cool. This is a first in my experience. I think we need to get some folks together and take the
opportunity to write something.
Matthew E Minister: (8:49 AM)
I was wondering if any of our letters such as the ones for the strategic plan items would be good
to share.
Matthew E Minister: (8:50 AM)
Yes, something new…
Jamie Axelrod: (8:50 AM)
That could be a start but we might want to include some other things as well
Matthew E Minister: (8:50 AM)

Sounds good.
