I hope everyone is doing well in this busy week. I'm on the road for the day, representing the unit at the Ag100 meeting in the Maricopa area. Here, I'm joining other unit heads and CALES and Extension leadership to connect with stakeholders, partners, state
leadership, and alumni during this transitional week for our College and Division. </div>

With this travel, we will not hold a faculty discussion today. We have not received any new news regarding graduate funding, nor on our budget at the Division, College, or unit levels. I will engage with Mike Staten in the coming week and will share news as
it comes in.</div>
