A Message From Our New Associate Vice President, Charles Darnell
I want to express my deepest thanks for the warm welcome I have received from Facilities staff since my arrival on
November 14th. Since starting work for USU I have been balancing my time between touring campus buildings, visiting
individual Facilities' work centers, and being introduced to the many academic and operational departments on campus.
I am very impressed with the USU campus and the high quality of our Facilities personnel. Hopefully, I will soon be
able to visit all Facilities units to introduce myself and to meet each of you. Again, I am excited to be part of
the USU Facilities department and I look forward to sharing a productive and enjoyable working relationship with you,
as with all other campus departments within the USU community.
Charles Darnell
