Within the newsletter, Cavalier said that he has been making an effort to learn more about Kutztown as a community.
“I’ve been intentional about getting out into our community, eating at the restaurants downtown, attending the Kutztown Fair and exploring the region to understand the community,” Cavalier said.
Cavalier noted the passion KU has for helping students succeed and the importance of its close-knit dynamic to their success. He also shared his goals for the university and how he hopes to achieve them.
“Going back to the interview process, I listened to our employees and agree that we need to reassess the university’s flexible work policies,” he said. “We want to recruit and retain the best employees at KU, and I’ve asked our vice presidents to begin developing policies to create more flexibility in our working environment.”
Cavalier also shared that town halls will be held each semester, allowing students to openly discuss issues.
The presidential inauguration will be held on April 10 of next year and will be themed “Golden Opportunities.” More information on the inauguration will be shared in future newsletters.
