Something I forgot...

[cto]

Something important that I forgot in my post about my weekend in Syracuse:

Chancellor-designate Kent Syverud and his wife Ruth Chen were at the game, very enthusiastically supporting the team and chatting with everyone who wanted to talk with him. Each time I meet him, I am more and more impressed. He and Ruth were there without a retinue (in sharp contrast to his predecessor), had seats that were not particularly special, and just wanted to take in the atmosphere and meet as many folks as possible. Each time I meet him, I am more and more impressed. He officially takes office this Monday. If you see him around campus, say hello. I suspect he would love to meet you.

do you really think he'd love to meet me?

At this point, he wants to meet as many people as possible. Maybe, after meeting you once, he would not want to meet you again... but who knows. He seems like a pretty open-minded guy.

Is it bad that I had to Google what the word retinue meant? Based on that and that alone I am guessing that Chancellor Syverud would probably not want to meet me.

I wanted to google retinue, but I didn't know what google meant. Welcome to Syracuse, Chancellor Syverud!!

I know you cant speak specifically but any generic thoughts on where his focus areas will be once he gets rolling? I know cantor was big on trying to integrate within the city so just curious if there is a high level "approach" he wants to take. And if thats confidential at this point I understand.

Hey...this is the Syracuse board.
Not Harvard. Not Duke.
The poor guy has to know what he's in for.

Chancellors like guys with skills. Nunchuka skills, bow staff skills, and so forth.
