First off, he is a great speaker, no notes, went for about an hour, took questions, and was very funny. I got to meet him and really liked him. I already knew i liked his work.
He talked a lot about our accomplishments in the past few years- AAU, athletics, fellowships, new hires, private donations, Simons gift, attracting new talent, better faculty, rising SATs and GPAs, rising applicants, research projects, the medical center, new programs, etc. Thats only partial. This is an exciting time to be a part of such a great institution.
I didnt even mention the construction projects- bball arena, the stadium, hotel, wireless, rec center, 25a project, dorms etc and the list goes on.
I got to chat with him directly and i let him know that- our students, alumni, and former athletes (like yourselves) are doing our best to get the word out, watching games, donating money, going to campus, etc. He was very excited about what we are doing- he said "i wish we could clone a hundred" of us fans.
We are in good hands. The presentation was downright inspiring.
