Regarding systems thinking: “There are no boundaries between any of the departments or actions. They are all integrated.” —William Donaldson @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

Culture emerges from the system. There is no culture in an organization initially. It’s just an assemblage of people. Your culture emerges and people pick it up. It comes from the interaction of the elements in an organization. @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

It was a Campus of Champions at Christopher Newport University during the 2022-2023 school year, phenomenal in pretty much every sport this past season - with 249 wins, 87 losses, five ties and a national title for its men's basketball team. trib.al/NVkmhAG
