Students returning for research and learning

With our students returning for research and learning, the cold weather’s here…it’s the most wonderful time of year. It’s the happiest season of all. Group projects are rolling, the Bulldogs are bowling, and in Fort Worth this year (Armed Forces Bowl – December 23 at 3:30pm…BE THERE!)…It’s the happiest season of all. With Christmas soon arriving and everyone feeling of good cheer, it’s less than a month ’til New Year. There are parties we’re hosting and students are coasting as classes just begin to go. New buildings are rising, more parking we’re providing, and a new press box out at the Joe.

I am so proud to serve you and inspired by what you do, and that you’ve made your home here…enjoy this most wonderful time of the year! Hope you have a great quarter and a Happy Holidays!
