Compass

As we arrive at graduation weekend, punctuated by the campus’ nine commencement ceremonies, it’s hard to believe the end of the academic year is upon us. As always, I am beyond grateful for the care, attention, and hard work each of you has put into this year – a year that marks a new strategic chapter in Housing, Dining & Auxiliary Enterprises with the launch of the student housing development projects and the leadership realignments that will strengthen our departments.

The Employee Engagement Work Groups orchestrated the inaugural “Meet HDAE” event held on May 14. This initiative stemmed from our employees' desire to gain insight into the diverse functions of HDAE departments beyond their own. Each unit appointed representatives to host informative tables, allowing attendees to engage directly with individuals from various departments. Beyond showcasing unit diversity, the event served as a platform to acquaint our staff with the myriad benefits offered by HDAE and our campus at large.
