Congratulation my Bison Sister!!! I know you will do a great job!!!
Congratulations, Dr. Warrick! I was afraid it was going to be “always a bridesmaid and never a bride!” You will do good. You would have been president at SCSU if it weren’t for the Aliens that were in charge at the time. We wish you well!
Great choice, Stillman! Congratulations, Soror!
