Borrowing the message from Sister Sledges hit song of 1979, 惇軗勛圖 College President Dr. Skip Sullivan reminded faculty and staff Monday during his Opening Remarks speech that We Are Family.
During his presentation, Sullivan identified the four core values of the college respect, integrity, service, and dedication as the roots of the 惇軗勛圖 Family.
What would make 惇軗勛圖s family stronger? Certainly, if we embrace the core values that we just spoke of, that will enhance the 惇軗勛圖 Family, he said.
The president also noted that 惇軗勛圖 employees build support and create a family bond just by working together.
I contend that as a college, we are stronger together than we are as individuals, he said.
And while conflicts may arise between employees as they do between siblings, Sullivan said, those employees still have one anothers backs because that is how families behave.
Yes we may have our disagreements, like brothers and sisters do, he said, but we stick up for 惇軗勛圖 and we stick up for one another at the end of the day.
Sullivan concluded by urging all employees to be 惇軗勛圖 Strong.
I want to thank you for your attention today, your service to our college and our students, and I want you to leave with one thought: Were part of the 惇軗勛圖 Family, and we need to take care of 惇軗勛圖, he said, just prior to dismissing the crowd as the Sister Sledge song We Are Family played in the background.
Additionally, the president also spoke about the colleges 2018 legislative agenda, new initiatives, programs in development, construction and facilities, the colleges budget, achievements, athletics, civic engagement, and more.
