The last year has been an exciting and memorable one for all of us here at the Chambers College. In 2022, students, faculty and staff watched as Reynolds Hall came to life and the first day of the fall semester was held inside our innovative new building. During the last semester, we’ve welcomed our building namesakes, Bob and Laura Reynolds, as well as our dedicated alumni, corporate partners, and prospective students and families to campus to see the possibilities of Reynolds Hall realized.

Reynolds Hall is not just a new building. It creates new opportunities to evolve the way we work, learn, interact, collaborate and teach on campus. As assistant dean for administration and planning, my role is to continue to support the alignment of our resources (financial, human, and infrastructural) to create the flexibility we need to compete in this evolving academic market.
