yay, I got the email also and I'm soooo happy! If you've read the past few articles it mentions "jim pitts" name as bascially the main guy that was in charge of obtaining the funding. He is actually from my hometown and my family knows him to a small extent. Anyhow, I plan on writing him a thank you note for his work. I'd be more than happy to include any of yalls thoughts bc he really is a great man that cares alot about higher education! I'm just so excited and can't wait to meet my future classmates 😀
