-- 07/30/07 -- CC's Electronic Town Square!

This is an informal forum for an all-campus dialogue. CC employees may ask me questions, raise concerns, tout accomplishments, celebrate colleagues, and generally express what's on your mind. In turn, I will endeavor to clarify policy decisions, herald progress, dispel rumors, and highlight colleagues' achievements. Together I believe we can improve campus communication. This can also serve as an electronic suggestion box.

I have only ground rule: let's be candid and civil.

Thank you,
President Dick Celeste
