The last two days have been our annual beginning-of-the-year faculty meetings here at CIU. I'm pleased to say that this year I found the whole thing rather positive. We have a new president, who has some new and fresh ideas, and some new faculty as well. All in all, I think 2007-2008 is going to be a good school year for CIU. I can't wait for the enthusiasm to catch on among the current students. Returning students are beginning to arrive, and they are most welcome. I pray we all can look to our savior Christ Jesus and expect a year of productivity and growth.
