Blair praised Thomas for her dedication to CEW and her service to the university.
“Gloria has initiated work that will help to position CEW for the coming decade,” Blair said. “Her work to maintain and enhance CEW’s relationships with its supporters provides CEW with a strong foundation for the future.”
