Spring brings sunlight and spring break.
During the spring months, faculty and administrators develop curriculum plans and course schedules for the coming academic year. The spring weeks also mark the escalating campus preparation for graduation ceremonies, concurrent with the job searches of graduating students. Additionally, spring usually marks the closing weeks of the faculty recruitment cycle. All this, of course, in addition to the continuing campus activities that involve research, advising, scholarship and instruction. Below the public sightline, the spring months also bring the final pass at the budget.
