It was an honor to be on hand this morning when the PGA Tour surprised Nick Dunlap with the 2024 Arnold Palmer Award for Rookie of the Year up at our Crimson Reserve golf facility.

University Spotlight
One of the greatest joys of working on a college campus is hearing the stories of how our university its faculty and staff have impacted lives. I encourage you to read this feature on reflections from six recent graduates of their journeys at UA.
#RollTideFriday
This week, we have a familiar face in Kerry Goode sharing a pic from Emory Hospital, who leaves us with an encouraging message of, "Having the heart of a champion can get you through anything." Also pictured is Richard Murray in Dubai.
