I appreciate all of you who were able to join us for the regional meetings in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. For those of you who weren’t able to attend, I’d like to share some updates on the college and its current initiatives. Now that students have left campus, major construction has begun in the Level 4 renovation project in the Fine Arts Library. Over the next three months, this 9,000 square foot space will be transformed from library stacks to a newly renovated, state-of-the-art workspace for the extremely popular and ever-expanding Arts and Entertainment Technologies and Design programs.
