Thinking Out Loud
More thoughts on Patricia Sullivan
Several years ago I had the opportunity to spend three hours with her, including lunch in the newly expanded and renovated Elliott Center.
I didn't know what to expect. She had impressed me as choosing her words so carefully that I wondered if I'd learn anything new about her that day. I did.
She didn't have the personal magnetism or charisma I had seen on other campus leaders, but she seemed totally at ease in that setting.
And her interaction with students was natural, not the forced, made-for-the-media glad-handing you sometimes see in these cases.
She was proud as punch of the place, and seemed genuinely excited that UNCG was working to provide a fuller, more enjoyable college experience for its students.
That was, in fact, the most unguarded and relaxed I ever saw her, eating on a tray in the student union cafeteria.
