It is a pleasure to serve as the Chancellor for the ECSU faculty and staff.  You are among the most dedicated group ever.  You have demonstrated your commitment to the university and its primary client - ECSU students. 

ECSU has been fortunate to have faculty members who embrace our students with both nurturing and knowledge.  Our staff plays an integral role in assisting our students, the faculty, and the administration, while upholding the mission, values, and standards of this institution. Whatever the need, the faculty and staff are diligent and dedicated to the cause.  Your steadfastness is a key reason our students succeed.

The strength of this University and the success of its many programs and endeavors rely upon your contributions. I am proud to say that, because of your time and efforts, this great University continues to stand strong and promises only to grow stronger in the days ahead.

Thank you for all you do to help increase the stature of ECSU. As evident in our ranking among our peers, ECSU provides one of the best college experiences in the nation. I am proud of your work, and I hope that you are proud of yourselves.

I look forward to our continued success. By working together and maintaining a sharp focus, ECSU will elevate even higher. As a result, our students, our region and our state will emerge even stronger.
