It was a real highlight last week to spend time with our Valley Bound Summer Bridge students. We had a chance to hear them practice "Go Valley-Valley Up!" I want to thank the entire team working with our Valley Bound Program. Thank you for bringing the energy and love of Valley College to our students!

Summer 2025 has been busy.  My cabinet is hard at work preparing for a robust Fall agenda.  I provided a brief update at Coffee with the Cabinet last Monday on the progress we are making as we plan for a collegewide reorganization, a restructuring of our committees, the development of a participatory governance handbook, the creation of the Valley Up! Initiative 2025-30, and celebrating 100 years with 100 events!
