Early morning on first day as president

July 1st, 2009

With the help of administrative staff, I'll be updating my blog throughout my first day. This morning I had the tremendous pleasure of meeting University of Oregon employees, many of whom are routinely some of the first to arrive on campus in the early morning hours. I met with members of the grounds crew, went through the kitchens at Carson Hall and the Living Learning Center, and stopped by the Student Recreation Center. My morning also included visits to the Department of Public Safety, the Duck Store, and the Erb Memorial Union. I thought you might enjoy some photos taken this morning.
