President Kilpatrick Sends the Following

Greetings to all and sundry,

I would like to express my most heartfelt and sincere gratitude for your participation in last week’s preview weekend. The event was a rousing success, and I’ve heard from many of the applicants that they felt thoroughly welcomed. Perhaps more importantly, many of the faculty members who attended the shindig have communicated to me that the event’s success was solely our doing. Dr. Barcus himself said that he was stunned by our willingness to step in, chat up the candidates, and extend such gracious hospitality to them. At the risk of sounding like a Texan cliche, y’all made us look good! So, thank you.

Thank you,

Nathan Kilpatrick
