We’ve added a section to this website called Key Decisions. Here we will keep track of milestone decisions and approvals.
The Communications and Advancement team almost went on a Lake Mendota adventure. We were planning a SUP (stand-up-paddle boarding) event to follow our weekly SUP (stand-up-meeting), but the Hoofer’s horn sounded just before we left the office. We’ve rescheduled for another day – stay tuned!
