[Building Sakai] Display logged in user First Name in header area

[Wilson, Kimberly]

Hi:

I've been modifying our Sakai portal.css for our 2.9.3 upcoming release

I need to figure out how to display the logged in user's first name in a Welcome message in the header of the page

Does anyone know how to do this?  Maybe with jQuery or Javascript?

I don't know how to call the first name from the logged in user information.

Thanks!
