It's one of the best weeks of the year: HOMECOMING!!!

A time when our current, past, and future Bulldogs all get to come together and celebrate what it means to be a Bulldog.

Whether it's the parade, Fall Reunion, one of our tailgates or watching our athletic teams dominate, I hope to see you here in Big Rapids!!!

Go Dawgs!!

September's Mug of the Month!! ☕️

This month is my vintage Ferris Institute coffee mug! Seeing this on the shelf reminds me of the groundwork laid by the founders of our university: Woodbridge and Helen Ferris. Their mission from back in 1884 still rings true today!!

What a great reminder of our history, an appreciation of our present, and motivation for what we look to do in our future.

Go Dawgs!!!

We've got a new series brewing... ☕️

If you’ve watched any of the videos from my office, you’ve probably noticed the wall of mugs behind me.

They’ve come from all different places, people, and moments throughout my career.

Now, we’re giving one mug the spotlight each month with the Mug of the Month!

First mug drops tomorrow!!!

This was a blast!

Tech Week GR kicked off with two icons in the entrepreneurial world. Shark Tank’s Daymond John and Robert Herjavec were amazing, and I loved having the opportunity to welcome them to West Michigan then interview them! We also celebrated Robert’s birthday on stage!

I totally enjoyed them, and I hope to see them back in GR at some point!

And for that reason, I’m out!😉
