We also want to take a moment to thank Doug Edwards, whose one-year term as Vice President ends on June 30, 2023. During his year as Vice President, Doug was courageous, level-headed, and an important voice of reason. His passion, his hard work, and above all, his incredible thoughtfulness, helped us navigate a very difficult and taxing year. Doug worked tirelessly fighting the good fight, and advocating for the faculty and students at Utica University, and we thank him for it!
