I’m looking forward to seeing many of you this weekend at AACC’s Presidents Academy Summer Institute. PASI provides an opportunity to learn, but it also provides a safe space for presidents to share their concerns and talk about challenges they’re facing on their campuses. I hope those of you attending come away re-energized and with new perspective.
