CNAS Faculty and Staff – I appreciate your resilience.  I appreciate the many hours you spend with students.  I appreciate your willingness to serve others by checking in with your students.  If no one has checked in with you this week – I’m checking in with you now!  Please let me know if you need something.  If I cannot personally help you – I’ll find someone who can.  Tammy

 Be kind.  Be positive.  Be strong.  Be safe.  As you run into staff from facilities, grounds, safety or custodial services on campus – please tell them thank you!  They have been working diligently on our campus to keep our spaces safe and warm and with power!  I know that the cold and snow has been an extra challenge for each one of us.  Thank you for all you do for the students at Missouri State University.
