VCSU LaFave – Once every three years, the North Dakota University System and State Board of Higher Education conduct an in-depth evaluation of campus presidents. My second such evaluation was held last week on our campus. These evaluations bring into focus VCSU\u2019s recent accomplishments, challenges, and future issues for the next three years. Constituent groups including staff, faculty, students, community members, and campus leadership participate in a series of listening sessions designed to identify these items and allow for input from each group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I sit in my office near the close of the business day, I do so with thankfulness and pride in the amazing team of faculty, staff, and students we have assembled at VCSU. Part of what makes them all so amazing is their work ethic and pride in the institution\u2019s history and accomplishments of the past three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every organization and business experiences challenges along the way, but the VCSU team of employees, students, and proud alumni have helped us meet these challenges with a positive and student-centered approach. I\u2019d like to share some of the high-level achievements our campus has experienced in the last three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
