I could make lots of jokes about this, but in reality, I think this is really cool. @GoStanford @StanfordFball take notes.

On behalf of the UC Berkeley community, I want to congratulate and welcome James Milliken to the University of California family. James clearly has a wealth of valuable experience and expertise which will serve us well during a time of challenge and change. I look forward to close partnership and collaboration with our new president.
