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
