please find room in one of your beautiful brand new buildings for a PROPER home for the Alumni Association

like an alumni lounge.

that I could hang out in every 2 yrs when I get down there

maybe the top floor of the new tower?
This needs to happen. HMO has heard this from me multiple times over the last few years. The campus has changed so much. The Old Hags, recent alums and LUO grads need a first class destination with benefits on campus to call their own.

Thank you JLFJR for getting it done!

There is, without question, no president on this planet better than JLFJR.

Yes- we're both forward thinkers

when I do retire I have no doubt the Prez will avail himself of my services

I'm multi-talented for sure

Thanks
School of Divinity is number one for takeoff, 4everfsu
Sounds like the college of engineering does not have a prayer of a chance then. Just kidding.

I would love to see a Technology Incubator - it would be awesome to see Liberty at the hub of launching software companies. They have a great potential workforce and it would provide a natural extension to further expand the engineering, graphic arts & comm majors. It would further bring attention to Liberty's unique entrepreneurial culture. The incubator could also take distance learning lessons & create new companies that add to Liberty's long-term revenue diversity.

When Liberty first started their COE they had a software engineering major that was offered. Since then they have dropped it.

YES...and one for graduates (alumni) too. I've been following a few schools who have found great success with similar programs. Some of the most fun I've ever had was working with a buddy of mine who's been doing some VC work, and this would be the perfect marriage between two things I love...Liberty and technology (and revenue :D)!

There will be no living with PA now. His head will now be bigger than his entire body!

Of course South Carolina already has something similar/ better but let's let PA have his big boy moment

Please write a book if you accomplish that one.

judging by the debris visible outside and trackhoes going at it, looks like they've wasted little time getting the project up and running

I'm glad they're getting this going quickly. The D1 team and the LFSN broadcasts associated with their games have outgrown the old setup. The new seating lay out and the bigger control booth are going amazing for fans and the LFSN crews.

Just drove by that a few minutes ago. I wonder how you go about buying trains. Must have been an interesting assignment for someone.
