I’ve been at Washburn University for four months now and I thought I might reflect a little. As you can imagine, I still have a great deal to learn, but I feel that I’m really finding my place. It’s not just the technology, although that would certainly fill the time; it’s the staff, the culture and the community which interest me most. The tag cloud below gives you a visual of projects, feelings and focus during my first few months.
Arriving in January gave me the opportunity to dive into the budgeting process at Washburn. 
My emphasis was on governance and understanding how we can prioritize and fund the numerous projects waiting in the wings. What I found was dedicated and passionate staff, a warm community and enthusiasm for the future. For those of you who don’t know me… I like chocolate and usually have some in my office so stop by… I still try to swim and run a little, but have found Kansas to be a little windy, so I’m adjusting…
I’m very happy to have joined the Washburn community and look forward to working with you and getting to know you.
