So, I got a little frisky after hearing the same thing from a number of leaders and whipped up a fluffy piece of flash fiction based on actual conversations.
To balance out that silliness, this week we have a guest essay from a former president who returned to the faculty in 2015 (yes, the good old days) after eight successful years.
This essay is a reminder of what a current president said when I wondered why anyone would want the job: “Every day I get to talk to these amazing people.” Then he added, “And I never have to explain again what a provost is.”
And coming soon, a guest essay from a current president: "The Magical Power of Football."
