To: Faculty and Staff
From: Stephen T. Hulbert, President
After long months of preparation, the 2003-2004 academic year is at hand. This week, activity across the University will become intense with the return of the student body and the opening of classes.Each of us on the Nicholls faculty and staff is here to serve the students. However, we do so in many different ways. The faculty do so through teaching, learning, and the engagement of students in research and service initiatives. Those of us on the staff serve the students by providing the broad range of administrative and support activity necessary to permit our faculty colleagues to complete their most important work.
Nicholls is known for a campus environment that is open, friendly, and supportive. From my brief stay on the campus, I have been impressed with the quality of the work of the faculty and staff and everyone’s commitment to helping the student.
I want to offer all members of the faculty and staff my thanks for your commitment to Nicholls and for your hard work on behalf of its students. I look forward to getting to know everyone over the year ahead and wish each of you a most successful and rewarding 2003-2004 academic year.
