beautiful, teams were victorious, and the students, alumni and honorees all seemed to have a wonderful time.\u00a0 I express my sincere appreciation to everyone who helped orchestrate the weekend\u2019s activities.\u00a0 It was a great pleasure to be involved in such a fun-filled event and it made me realize once again how truly proud I am to be a Bulldog!<\/p>\n<p>In conjunction with Homecoming, the Board of Governors held their annual October meeting under the leadership of Board Chair Sarah Burkemper.\u00a0 Kelly Kochanski, student representative to the Board from March 2014 to April 2016, was officially recognized for her service.\u00a0 Representatives from RubinBrown LLP reported on the annual audit of the University, and Truman\u2019s governmental relations services consultants, GibbonsWorkman LLC, provided a report on their work on behalf of the University.\u00a0 Charles Hunsaker and Denise Smith, Co-Directors of University Advancement, were joined by Dr. Sharron Quisenberry, Chair of the Pursue the Future Campaign, and provided updates on advancement and the campaign.\u00a0 Regina Morin, Vice President for Enrollment Management, provided the annual enrollment management report, and I provided a President\u2019s Report reflecting many of the campus and community activities that have occurred throughout the past few months.\u00a0 In addition, the Board reviewed financial reports, received updates on various on-campus construction projects, and heard reports from their three committees.\u00a0 Within those committee meetings, the Board received updates on the proposed University strategic plan, Student Conduct Code statistics, and Truman Transformation.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of action items, the Board approved the University strategic plan for 2016-2020, entitled <em>Truman Blueprint for Success:\u00a0 Intentional Experiences, Institutional Distinctiveness, Extended Reach and Organizational Excellence,<\/em> which can be found on the Strategic Plan website located at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.truman.edu\/about\/mission-vision\/strategic-plan\/\">http:\/\/www.truman.edu\/about\/mission-vision\/strategic-plan\/<\/a>.\u00a0 The Board expressed their appreciation to the entire University community for their work in developing a new strategic plan that will guide the development of the University.\u00a0 The next step in the process will be to form a committee to develop specific metrics for each component of the plan.<\/p>\n<p>The Board also took action on two items within the areas of finance and auditing:\u00a0 approval of independent tax exempt status for the Truman State University National Alumni Association and the creation of a new staff employee status designated as Full-Time Professional Non-Exempt Employees in order to comply with the new regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.<\/p>\n<p>Within the area of Budget and Capital Projects, the Board approved the Blanton-Nason-Brewer Window and Roof Replacement Project for Summer 2017 which will address maintenance and repair needs in the facility.\u00a0 They also approved architectural services for the University Residence Project which will address improvements to the facility originally constructed in 1937.<\/p>\n<p>A copy of the complete agenda from the October 21 meeting can be found on the Board of Governors website located at <a
