00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:05.606
 Mhm.

00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:08.207
Yeah.

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.806
Well I started here in 1972

00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:18.646
and I started as a senior accountant
as the university has grown and

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:26.056
matured and developed. Uh My row
became uh expanded over the number of

00:00:26.089 --> 00:00:32.766
years and uh I'm presently in
retirement transition retiring from the

00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:38.847
position of senior associate VP. For
finance and deputy treasurer. I think

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:44.737
a great capstone of a career here at
the university. And other than uh

00:00:44.770 --> 00:00:50.046
three years that I was with a national
C. P. A firm upon graduation, I've

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.927
been with this issue. So it's been
kind of, it's been really my home, so

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.717
to speak, it's part of a family and to
receive the this recognition is

00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:04.906
really extremely gratifying if it's an
academic research building. I had

00:01:04.939 --> 00:01:09.986
uh significant role in that if it's
for some of the residents halls, some

00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:15.227
of those have been done on a
privatized space. Is it still can have an

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:21.566
impact on the university's credit
rating, but in some cases uh financing

00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:27.266
was done by a private developer. But
we we monitored the arrangement At

00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:33.426
the present time. We're in a short
plateau as uh state works out as

00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:39.087
budgetary problems. Uh but uh yes the
university will continue to grow and

00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.316
uh 40 years from now, I wonder what
this place will really look like. You

00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:48.209
know, it will be completely uh it will
be mind bogglingagain
