Our appreciation to Vice Chancellor Grover Campbell , Assistant Vice Chancellor Laura Calfee , Sue Burns , and Celeste Neathery , for their hard work and dedication. Thanks also go to Associate Vice Chancellor Wendy Adair and the folks in the UH System Office of Public Affairs for their support with publications, correspondence, speeches, and the legislative page on the Web. Their efforts increased our internal and external communications to our faculty, alumni, and students. They were there every day, literally until the last gavel, working on behalf of the UH System universities. As you can appreciate, exciting things are happening, and will continue to happen in the near future throughout the UH System.
Additional funding is now available to meet our most important priorities.
A permanent President is in place at UH-Clear Lake, and the searches for other top administrators are well underway. At UH-Victoria, the search committee is beginning to review candidates for the President's job. The Chief Financial Officer search committee is completing its final interviews and will soon give me their short list of three to five candidates. The Chief Academic Officer search committee has been named, and their work will continue through the summer and into the fall. The search for a General Counsel is also underway, and I hope to have the committee's recommendations by fall.
