To My Restorers of the Breach:

You made wonderful history last night. From the smallest detail to the main event, everything was at the very highest quality level. We often reference the historic computer center event and appropriately so. I promise you, as I told the Chancellor, last night will prove to be one of the legendary events spoken of by African American alumni for years to come. Let's keep going and make the Baltimore, DC, Northern Virginia AAAC Affiliate the pace setter.

Spectacular success only begins to describe what you accomplished last night. Thanks and proud of you.
