First, I want to thank everyone who has signed up to volunteer for the Commencement exercises. For many of us who are not interacting with TU students day to day, we lose sight of the primary mission of the University. It is a momentous occasion for our graduates and it is a wonderful experience for us to be able to share in these moments. Second, as the fiscal year winds down, hopefully all of you have used up the majority of your vacation time. I cannot overemphasize how important it is to use this time to recharge and maybe reboot yourself on occasion. Finally, with year-end closing, it is imperative that timesheets are completed and approved in a timely fashion.

Each semester, TU students gain marketable skills through employment in the Division. This semester the CGIS team provided mentorship to Tyler DiBastiani and Jaroslav Candler, who both worked on a project at the MD State Highway Administration. Thank you for your work and congratulations on your upcoming graduation!

Leadership Development
Leadership is a hot topic for our private and public partners. Over the past two years, CPS conducted a series of team leader classes for the Maryland Department of General Services, emerging leadership training for the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, and executive leadership academy programs for LifeBridge Health. Our newest venture is with MDOT-State Highway Administration. This year CPS will organize and conduct the SHA Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) designed for high-performing and mid to executive level employees of SHA. The full week program offers a modern curriculum on leadership, builds internal relationships, strengthens individual competencies, and supports SHA’s next generation of leaders. LEARN MORE
