Summer is coming to a screeching halt as I become accustomed to. Even though the weather is still in the upper 80s and 90s, we are gearing up for the start of the SEMESTER! And that means summer is over. Next Monday at this time the campus will be filled with students and parking will be an adventure. It has been a very productive summer, but I want to welcome back all of our students!

Be sure to come into the Library and see our new "Quiet Room." The carpenters are almost finished and it looks wonderful! Thank you to the CSI carpenters who worked so hard on this addition to the library. I'm positive that students will enjoy our new area for quiet studying away from the computers and open areas.

Welcome back! I hope you have a great semester!
