Supporting our troops is not a bumper sticker. It's more than that, and we have to get out there and do something tangible.

We won't be able to send generic messages to the troops or a note addressed to an entire company. There are too many issues with shipping.

When the war first broke out, I was commissioned to paint dozens of the 'Support our Troops' banners. Now, I only have two. It's like no one wants to be reminded that we are at war. It is life as usual.

I'd like the troops to come home and the money put to better use. We have enough problems in this country without going abroad.

The board of directors has great confidence in them (the internal auditors). We work closely with them to monitor activities and what they do.

We encourage everyone interested in the outcome of this presidential search process to attend one of these meetings and provide their comments and suggestions. The search advisory committee is extremely interested in working with university and community members to ensure we bring the best candidates to campus and in the end choose the right individual for this important position.
