Great stroll across campus and great chats with students. I like what I see — students GET IT and are “masking up!” I believe in the

Dayton coach Anthony Grant on today potentially being DaRon Holmes II's college farewell: "I'm 100% behind whatever decision DaRon and his family makes. That guy's been a joy to coach. ... I get calls from NBA teams, they ask me, 'is he as good a kid as it seems?' Yeah. he is."
Tough day for the Flyer Family yesterday, but proud as can be of Coach Grant and all of

The University of Dayton grieves for the victims of the senseless shootings in our City, prays for them and their families, and calls for action. My statement:
Character. Integrity. Values. Excellence.
Congratulations, Coach Grant, on being named AP Coach of the Year — exceedingly well-deserved.

Selflessness during these turbulent times: I was just contacted by some faculty who wish to donate Personal Protective Equipment from their labs to local healthcare workers. Working to make a difference.

Legendary UD Coach Don Donoher honored tonight as 3rd recipient of the Dean Smith Award, awarded by the US Basketball Writers Assoc. (John Thompson & Tom Izzo are former recipients). Coach Donoher is a very special man & a UD treasure. This award is richly deserved.
@DaytonMBB
So gratifying to see Deuce honored. This young man has done it the right way from Day One. Listens to coaches, works to get better, supports his teammates, gracious with opponents, and loves

This university president will continue to proudly use “Dr.” as an honorific title for

Dear Dayton,
Thank you for this season. We hope you had fun; we sure did. You made us proUD over and over. During the tournament, you showed grit, heart and resilience. We were with you to the last buzzer, and we'll be with you until we all meet again next fall.
@DaytonMBB
Grateful to
@DaytonMBB
student-athletes and staff for giving their all throughout the year. You represented

Special thanks to
@univofdayton
faculty and staff (and their families) for making the special sacrifice of working on Labor Day during this very unusual year. It makes a difference — and is truly appreciated.
The thoughts and prayers of our campus community are with our friend & colleague Dr. Dan and his family. Please join me in showing Dr. Dan our support by sending him a message of healing. Details:

“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” These words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are particularly compelling today. In his honor—& for our own good—let’s find a way to love across our differences, whether political, racial/ethnic, or other.
What else can you say about the quality of this young man and the other student-athletes that Coach Grant recruits? There truly is a love affair between
@daytonmbb
and the Dayton community. And it is built on the quality of these young men. Thanks,

condemns the act of hate that occurred in Pittsburgh today. As a Catholic university, we mourn in solidarity with our Jewish faculty, staff, students, & alumni. No person should ever be targeted because of their religion, race, gender, or other form of difference.
