 A welcome to spring campus assembly, it's always an inspiring time I think for us to come together as a community to pay tribute to our exceptional faculty or staff whose dedication fuels the University of Alabama, fuels the excellence that our students exhibit every day and makes this university really what it is. I do want to also extend my deep appreciation for what you do for this university and what you've done for many years touching and impacting students and our staff and our faculty and serving him truly in remarkable ways I think it underscores who we are at the University of Alabama. You know the touch points you know extend far beyond a coaching staff it's you all. You don't know that one person and there's many of you in here have impacted our guys and a decision they're making in some form or fashion. Walking down the hall to see a smiling face the energy that can transfer from people makes them feel like they have value. This morning as I sat down with parents I'm always asked a question why you it's because of you. It's what you do you are the answer to the question why the University of Alabama why you a because each of you plays a pivotal role as a legacy builder as a legend builder you have fingerprints over the product that we produce which is great great young people. You all are the architects of the shared vision and the mission that we have at the University of Alabama it is not just a logo that we put up it's not just something that's written on a piece of paper on our letterhead we are about changing lives at the University of Alabama we are about making legends at the University of Alabama.
