- It is a gorgeous campus.

It's a beautiful campus.

I was here in 2018 when Hurricane Florence hit, oversaw the repairs and renovation of many buildings, that happened to be in my college at the time.

But month or two after the hurricane, you never knew that something hit, without the buildings and repairs and renovations.

That took few years, of course, but it is a very thoughtfully created campus.

The campus sticks to the master plan, [clears throat], very pedestrian friendly.

As you can see, all the traffic is more or less to the perimeter of the campus.

It's a very walkable campus.

The best part for me is if I had 30 minutes in my schedule, I would have to make phone calls, or if I can have a walking meeting with somebody, say, just get out.

Let's walk and talk.

Takes me about 12 minutes to 15 minutes from my office in the front of the campus in Alderman Hall to walk to the back of the campus, which is Veterans Hall, between 12 and 15 minutes, depending on how many students I meet and talk.

But really seeing the students, talking to them, looking at the campus with their eyes, the energy and the vibe, the life that they bring to the campus, that's rejuvenating.

I mean, it's a gorgeous campus.

So every chance I get, I try to get out and sometimes if my schedule allows, I even bring my dog, Toby, he's a Labradoodle.

The students want to pet him, play with him.

I mean, it's a great campus.
