Is there anything that you ’ d like to share with our readers ?
I want to convey my profound gratitude to three university presidents ( and former supervisors ) whose examples , mentorship and support have helped me on my journey to the PHSC Presidency — Drs . Vic Morgan , Bob Glenn and Linda Schott . I also appreciate the warm welcome and professional courtesy extended to me during the presidential search and selection process .
My enthusiasm for serving as PHSC ’ s fifth president has been heightened by the relationships created since my arrival . I look forward to working with all stakeholders , internal and external , to make sure that people in Pasco and Hernando Counties find the services and solutions they need at PHSC .
