While days may be hectic, it’s important for us to realize just how fortunate we are and how blessed we are to be part of Al- bany State University – a university so richly steeped in the fabric of Southwest Georgia’s history and future. This week our students and most of our faculty have enjoyed a brief vacation from classes. When they return on Monday, they’ll be refreshed and ready to tackle the last half of the semester. There are still plenty of events on the calendar for us as spring blooms into action. On March 25, we’ll celebrate Honors Day. April 2 is Founder’s Day. April 17 is the third national MALES Conference hosted by the Center for the African-American Male. April 19 we’ll honor our retirees for the year. May 1 is the Spring Commencement. There are several other events planned for spring here at Albany State. It’s important for us to support these efforts and show all who come to ASU what a truly special place this is. As you enjoy the scenes of spring, be sure to treasure this special time of year and all the activities that come with it. 4 InsideASU Mar. 11, 2010
