Recently, President Robin Baker traveled to the South to visit Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia. During his stay, he had the opportunity to explore historic homes in the area, prompting him to reflect on the past and the importance of recognizing how history informs not only our past, but our future as well. You can read it here.
Robin also took time to share his thoughts on longtime university supporter, leader and alumnus Roger Minthorne, who recently passed away after helping guide and shape his alma mater for nearly three-quarters of a century. You can read his thoughts on Roger on this blog post.
