Campo visited today: Welcome back! Poem by Thomas Hardy, touched on AMULIT and how it will help our students build skills, more undergrad students in prisons than on campus, going to have many more online students, wants a curriculum that is more competency based, wants to offer more study abroad opportunities at lower costs, wants to increase the number of online classes, aiming for summer 2021 to be a full summer term (this means that students can complete a full semester over the summer and take the fall off if needed), also wants AU to continue to grow in inclusivity
