<p class="MsoNormal">I am pleased to share with you that on Tuesday, October 3, Dr. James Hallmark, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs from the A&M System, will be visiting our campus. Please join him, as well as President Rudin and myself, for a panel discussion
on SB 12, 17, and 18, starting at 1:45pm. This hour long panel offers a great opportunity to ask questions about any of the state bills, as well as the System’s guidance. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Dr. Hallmark, this will also be a wonderful
chance to get to know more about him and his approach to academic affairs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The open panel session will be held in BA 343 from 1:45-2:45pm. If you are unable to attend in person, please consider using the zoom link,
