As we begin 2018, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge a bit of sad news from 2017. With the passing of Dick Enberg, we lost a true legend who is woven into the very fabric of this university.
Dick Enberg's story, in many ways, is the story of so many Chippewas. A man from humble beginnings who was given an opportunity in Mount Pleasant and, with alma mater always supporting him, earned his place among the giants in the world of sports broadcasting. We lost a great man, a generous benefactor, but also, a friend.
