November 2013 Trustee Update

The trustees had a very productive fall meeting. The board approved the following:

• Emeritus status for several retired faculty members. Congratulations!
  • Donna Arnink– Professor Emerita, Drama and Dance
  • Margaret Duncombe – Professor Emerita, Sociology
  • Ronald Hathaway – Professor Emeritus, Biology
  • Bruce Kola – Lecturer Emeritus, Sport Science
  • Libby Rittenberg – Professor Emerita, Economics and Business
  • Adrienne Seward – Professor Emerita, English
  • Yun Yu Wang – Professor Emerita, Theatre and Dance
  • William Weida – Professor Emeritus, Economics and Business
• A naming policy that will help guide the college in the naming of campus spaces and programs.
• The external audit was approved. Because of the good work of many staff and faculty, there were no major findings.

In addition, the trustees worked on their Strategic Project Teams (SPTs). This year's SPTs are: (1) campaign planning, (2) library planning, (3) campus master plan/master communications plan, and (4) environmental stewardship and innovation. These teams are closely tied to the implementation of the strategic plan and the work of our campus-based action and knowledge-development teams.

Finally, the trustees recognized the contributions of four individuals who are transitioning from voting charter trustees to life trustees. These individuals — Bill Hybl, Mike Lampton, Doug Norberg, and Sue Woolsey — have generously shared their time, talents, and treasure with CC.
