I received a large envelope from Cleveland State University in today’s mail.  Inside the envelope, much to my surprise and pleasure, was a letter and certificate announcing that I have been awarded the status of Associate of the University by the Board of Trustees of Cleveland State University.  I am not really sure what that means, but I am honored to have been considered and my years of services recognized.  After spending almost 26 years as an employee and three as a student, CSU became my home away from home and my extended family.  That is why I will cherish this title that has been conferred upon me by CSU.
