“Jon and I served on a task force that constructed a new strategic plan for the Division of student Affairs (now the Division of Student Life) at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville. As members of this task force, each of us had to do heavy lifting. Jonathan was up to the task. He was an engaged, productive, collegial member of the team. I enjoyed working with him on this project. ”
