Academic Affairs Team
ADAPTS
Academic Affairs team members strive to be nimble and adaptable in their work. The team collectively turned the term ADAPTS into an acronym meaning "Always Developing, Always Progressing, Transforming, & Sustaining."
If one of our 80+ team members has made an impact on your work and exhibited these traits, please take a moment to share a story here. These stories will be shared with supervisors and culminate in an Academic Affairs recognition ceremony.
