Back to Main Page
I want to start by sending out my thanks and appreciation to everyone for your
tireless efforts and dedication to our faculty, staff, and students. All of you
have managed to take care of business despite our staffing challenges and events
outside of work. We have a great team and one worthy of recognition and appreciation.
You personify "Something More @ KUMC" and I enjoy the opportunity of working with each
of you every day.
Thanks again for being such a wonderful group! It is indeed a pleasure to work
with such a competent and professional team. ---Rick
