This will be the last 3-month construction look ahead that I personally send out.  After more than 27 years here at Missouri State University I have decided to move on and retire from MSU.  If you would like to read a bit more about what has transpired here at Missouri State University these past 27 years, please check out our web site located here.  It has been a great run.  Together much has been accomplished.  I hope that each of you, no matter what part you may have played in our projects over the past 27 years, are as proud of what you did as I am proud of what you did for Missouri State University.
