Like the Yankees?

After a flurried week of travel to and from Germany, it was great to come home and watch the Yankees complete a sweep of the Minnesota Twins last night. Despite the fact that I do like seeing the Twins succeed, I was thrilled to watch the Bombers complete the sweep and continue building momentum as they charge through the post-season.

After watching that game and spending this morning plowing through follow ups and piles accumulated while in Germany, I had a chance to peruse the articles from this weekend's OD about the growth and development of programs at SUNYIT. Most of you know that the development of Marcy NanoCenter at SUNYIT and the campus itself will be bolstered by one another, so I was quite happy to see the programs at SUNYIT begin to take shape and move forward.

If you missed those articles, you can find them here:

I'm thrilled to see these programs taking shape and growing. Following July's announcement, there were many folks that asked "when will this happen and how?" Now we're starting to see the when and how develop, and I like what I see.

I'm sure you're asking yourself, that's great, but what does all this have to do with the Yankees?

Well, I'm hoping that just like the boys in Pinstripes, SUNYIT is now really building momentum for the ultimate prize.

Keep up the good work, Dr. Yeigh!
