Good afternoon. Thank you for coming together as a campus community for Cal State Northridge's Day of Remembrance ceremony. We join together to honor and grieve for the thousands of innocent people who lost their lives a year ago today. Our gathering also demonstrates unity and support for the friends and families of the victims, and the countless others in the world who have been directly affected by this tragedy.

It is with profound feelings of honor, humility, privilege, and joy that I stand before you today as the fourth president of California State University, Northridge. I also, however, must acknowledge that on this day of celebration I experience a deep and compelling sense of commitment, obligation, and stewardship for this institution.

Becoming a university president is a fairly risky thing to do. At least at various moments I'm very convinced of that. As I was putting together my thoughts for this speech, I realized that, in agreeing to give the keynote address I was embarking on a fairly dangerous course. First of all, because I have not even been through a full promotion and tenure cycle at this university. Although I know a lot of the history (because many of you have shared a lot of the stories with me), I would not purport to fully understand scholarship and faculty load at CSUN. That's another element of danger in talking about this topic with you today. Also, I realize that it is a little dangerous to talk about this with all of you, because there are certainly many of you in the audience who are still being evaluated using our current promotion and tenure standards.

I want to take us today through four steps that will allow us a broad assessment of where CSUN is at this particular point in time. I am going to begin by talking and explicating for you the perspective that I bring to leadership. Then I am going to tell you a little bit about what it is I see in CSUN as one of the newest kids on this particular block of the San Fernando Valley. I then want to very briefly review with you the priorities that I have established that will guide my time and guide the time of many individuals, and I hope many of you, during the course of this academic year. Finally, I want to end with what I hope are some fairly provocative issues, descriptions of some provocative choices that we as a campus are going to need to make over the next coming years.
