Vegas Weekend

2009-08-15T18:43:00.000-07:00

Working on posting my photos from Vegas. Give me about 30 mins.

I spent part of Saturday taking shots around the campus...

I spent the Saturday afternoon wandering the campus and the James Turrell exhibit at the Pomona Gallery and taking pics of the campus. James Turrell is also redesigning our courtyard at Harper Hall. I'll post some of his works later. Very cool stuff.

President Ronald Reagan Library-Oval Office

2008-02-19T22:48:00.001-08:00

This is the layout and furniture from the Oval Office while Pres. Reagan was in office. If you recognize the desk it's because it is the same one with the famous picture of John Jr. Kennedy crawling through with his father in the background. Note: the middle panel was added to hide Franklin D. Roosevelt's wheelchair. The desk was made of timbers from the H.M.S. Resolute, an abandoned British ship discovered by an American vessel and returned to the Queen of England as a toke of friendship. Queen Victoria commissioned the desk out of the retired timbers and presented it to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880.

Things going well so far

2008-01-16T22:27:00.000-08:00

On the way home...

I'm just passing the midpoint of the new work week at CGU. Much better weather than Chicago and everything has been going great so far and it's been a week of transition and discovery. Classes start next week and I've made my rounds with the IT staff and CGU administration. Faculty return next week and I hope to have time to meet with all the department heads to strategize where improvements can be made. I've got lots of new ideas and improvements in mind. Standardization and documentation of processes are on the top of my list. It's been wonderful weather and friendly people helping me along the way.

Best wishes to all,
Travis
