With President Donna Hodge at the NCAA conference in Washington, DC, Vice President of Personnel Services and General Counsel Stacey Luster hosted our inaugural Campuswide Development Day. Although off-campus, President Hodge gave welcome remarks via video.
The morning opened with breakfast in the Liscotti Pavilion, generously sponsored by our Commonwealth partner Wellpoint. A keynote from Joe Sallustio, EdD, co-creator and host of The EdUp Experience followed. His framing of how higher education is colliding with technological and global change moved past easy narratives and into the harder questions about responsibility, adaptation, and leadership.
