Join colleagues to celebrate the start of the new academic year at our annual Community Breakfast!

Enjoy a warm welcome and an overview of our community’s goals for the year ahead. We will also recognize the recipients of the 2025 President’s Awards for Exemplary Staff Service and Long-Term Service Awards.
