What's good? What's good? What's good? Obviously, you know who I am. For those of you who don't, my name is Dr. Antonio Williams. I'm the new interim director of David T. Kearns Center for Leadership and Diversity, as well as director for Graduate Diversity Initiatives here in College of Arts and Sciences.
Change is inevitable. You know, as we move forward through this life, Dr. Miguel Baique is now moved on, but I am here, and we are going to continue the lineage that he's put before us and we’re going to do some great things together. I cannot wait to meet every one of you! You seniors, we outside, we did it. Graduation is right around the corner! Let's make sure we're doing everything to tighten this thing up and finish out strong on your way out. And I just really can't wait to meet every single one of you. We got a lot of things planned. I've been with the center for three and half years, so I'm familiar with a lot of our protocols and things that we have going on. So, you cannot expect any interruptions with what we’ve got going on for you guys, if anything we are just looking forward to adding on to it. So, like I said, let's finish off the semester strong. Can't wait to meet you. And if you’re around, feel free to stop by.
