This past Saturday we celebrated Springfield Day
during our men’s basketball game at TRAC. As part of the day’s
activities, I hosted a meeting of all the First Citizens of Springfield, each
of whom has been so named because of their exceptional contributions to our
community. I enjoyed briefing this distinguished group about how the campus is
growing in size, visibility and reputation and we had a lively dialogue about
ways that the community and the university can collaborate to enhance both the
university and the Central Illinois region. These people are shining examples
of how each of us can make a difference in our world - Leadership lived!
