I wonder which one would have more interest in athletics.

I wonder which one would have more interest in athletics.

I'm more curious as to which one will advance the University; increase alumni involvement in ALL University aspects, grow the endowment, establishment great relations with the local, regional and state communities AND with industry.

I like the fact that Licari has witnessed all the good things Bradley has accomplished. Also, the fact he is from UNI and has knowledge of the MVC. I would imagine he already has an understanding that ISU needs to increase the size of its foundation and improve overall fund raising as well. Just my gut feeling he's the better of the two.
I just hope we don't make our decision based on a need for more diversity, rather than what's best for the university.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Curtis.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing but I am curious if what your evaluation of the two are.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Curtis.

Why?

I was gonna ask that but you beat me.

Because I've been more impressed with my research into her than I have been with Licari. There is a lot of positive press if you Google her from her time at UCM and Illinois State. Her CV also hits on my points that I'm interested in than his does. I also like the fact she is an alum and I'd like to see Indiana State start opening the doors to more alumni that actually love the school.
