The positives Abraham has brought in the last 4 weeks since arriving July 1 are more positives than we've seen in a very, very long time. Keep this guy long term!

The distance between simple talk and proven results is somewhere between infinitesimal and infinity. Much too early to get the yardstick out.Tere North wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 8:50 am The positives Abraham has brought in the last 4 weeks since arriving July 1 are more positives than we've seen in a very, very long time.

I would agree sealhall74, but already the attitude and morale is changing, a good sign that many have hope where before there was none.sealhall74 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 9:55 amThe distance between simple talk and proven results is somewhere between infinitesimal and infinity.

Transfer students will be on campus today. This is in addition to the other SOARS that took place earlier in the summer. 23 more is 23 more in the positive. The new admissions guy seems to be thinking out of the box! jc

They are now paying for train tickets for orientation and Discover Western activities! Great idea in my opinion! jc

And after they get on campus, if we can keep them from hopping on the train every Friday PM to go home, life will be good.Neckfansince71 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 9:20 am They are now paying for train tickets for orientation and Discover Western activities! Great idea in my opinion! jc

I wonder if they're able to get a deal from Amtrak...group rate, or something. You gotta figure, more students at Western means more students using the Amtrak route to head back north every now and then.Neckfansince71 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 9:20 am They are now paying for train tickets for orientation and Discover Western activities!
