With the actual Masters golf tournament postponed to November, our Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Mothersbaugh and some of his friends got together last weekend to create a video game equivalent. Quite frankly, they got a little carried away with it. @emothersbaugh

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hank Bertucci. A 31 year veteran of CPD and Security Officer and a former Chief of Security of ICO for 20 years, Hank touched the lives of all of us in the ICO Community and we are grateful for his many years of service.

In uncertain times, we can feel powerless. But there is something each of us can do at this time. What we do makes a difference and we can all be part of the solution. Let’s do our part to #flattenthecurve and #savelives.
