President Michael Driscoll
Ģtv is facing its most challenging times in over a century. But we have the opportunity to write the next chapter of our history as a story of resilience and teamwork. Our focus must be on our students and meeting their needs so they can succeed. We have a good plan, and we need every one of us to pitch in and do our share. My own goals support the strategic plan and focus on better serving our current and future students I believe we can do this. And with your help, we will do this.
By sharing examples of initiatives, projects, or methods that have helped promote student-centeredness in your respective areas, you can help drive positive change throughout our institution.
