Campus In Bloom, Eric F. Spina

President's Blog: From the Heart

As I strolled up the walkway to my office in St. Mary?s Hall, I spotted a groundskeeper applying mulch and edging a flower bed overflowing with brightly colored tulips and daffodils. The sun had barely risen, but the work of keeping our 400-acre campus beautiful starts early.

Though a bit of a quagmire, my name is unique and doubles as an ice-breaker. What's more, I like it.
