    I have no complaints and think it is a lovely campus. I really enjoy my workspace and like being here. I know this report is going to UAS leadership and Faculty Senate; it should also be made available for everyone to see the results. What's the secret?
    Maintaining private offices in order to teach, work in a scholarly manner and collaborate with others is important in the academic setting.
