Good Day All

For those of the accounting persuasion, or for those who may know of such, I
would offer the attached opportunity to your consideration.  The finance "side"
of our university has undergone some significant changes and has an enlightened
and dynamic leadership.   This position is one of great opportunity and
challenge - I believe it will be "fun" as well.
