INTRODUCTION

Are you preparing for July? Everything you're able to accomplish now will mitigate chaos then. Remember:

"The key is not the will to win...everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important."
   - Multiple (Paul "Bear" Bryant, Bobby Knight, Vince Lombardi...)

As always, I hope you find this publication to be helpful and informative. If you ever have questions or ideas regarding the content of the Faculty Focus Newsletter, please contact me at 856-566-7177 or garwoods@rowan.edu

Be Safe.

Thank you, Steve
