Well, like you, I've been hoping for cooler weather. I'll tell you that right now. I love the campus in the fall when the leaves start to drop and get a little bit of chill in the air. And, of course, Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh, Kansas is pretty special as well with football season getting underway this Saturday here at home. But it almost feels like a blur. And I've talked to several faculty and staff members about the first few weeks. And they feel like, wow, it's just a rocket start. It's really gone well. I've talked to a lot of students who are just very, very excited about being here. We've had a few bumps along the way. We always do with the students with some challenges they run into. And our job is to quickly respond to those challenges and help them and help them be successful. But you think about 66-hundred students or so. You're going to have a few of those, but it really what's going to tell the character of Pittsburgh State is, how do we respond? And I feel good about our response at this point in time. I did head down to Edmund to the opening football game. And that was quite exciting and quite fun. The first half, and I was much fun the second half. And the girls walked away at the win.

And I say this many, many times, I'm inspired by our student athletes. No matter what the situation, they just keep fighting. And I think that tells us all something about life. And as we face challenges in our offices or whatever we do on the campus, we can't give up. We just keep pushing through it. And those young people, they do that every day.
