Even under the cloud of COVID-19, I am thrilled to see students back on campus. Each year, we welcome a new class of Freshman and assign them one of our six core values. Please help me welcome our Class of Quality and their family members to the Griffon Family!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am also excited to announce that Dr. Brett Bruner will join the Griffon Family as our new Assistant Vice President &amp; Dean of Students. Dr. Bruner comes to us from Arkansas Tech University and has a wealth of experience in working with students. Please help me welcome him to our family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your student reaches out to you about struggling in classes, here is some great information to keep and share with your student: The Center for Academic Support provides free tutoring and is an excellent resource.
