Gazette

The Gazette is a set of reports from the main administrative units of the College. They have been prepared by the vice presidents and deans and some other senior administrators as a way to summarize for the president, the faculty, the Board of Trustees, and one another the main projects, issues, and challenges for the coming year, and to introduce the new people and their roles in each area. What started as a set of documents for the Conference's own use has grown into this more widely distributed Gazette, which we hope you will find useful.

The College Conference, which meets twice a month, includes:

  • President Doug Bennett
  • Provost Nelson Bingham
  • Academic Dean and VP for Academic Affairs Greg Mahler
  • VP for Finance Dick Smith
  • VP for Institutional Advancement Jim McKey
  • VP for Community Relations Avis Stewart
  • Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Jeff Rickey
  • Dean of Student Development Deb McNish
  • Registrar and Associate Dean of the College Bonita Washington-Lacey
  • Associate Academic Dean Kari Kalve
  • Associate Academic Dean for Program Development Alice Shrock
  • Clerk of the Faculty John Howell
  • Coordinator of Information Services Tom Kirk
  • Associate Dean of Residence Life Kevin Schaudt
  • Associate Dean for Student Success Wendy Seligmann
  • Associate VP for Annual Giving Kevin Klose
  • Associate VP for Institutional Advancement Kim Tanner
  • Associate VP for Public Affairs Karen Roeper
  • Assistant VP for Business Operations Dana North
  • Director of Admissions Nancy Sinex
  • Director of Athletics Frank Carr
  • Director of International Programs Patty Lamson
  • Director of Facilities Alan Bigger
  • Director of Financial Aid Robert Arnold
  • Controller Cathy Habschmidt
  • Assistant to the President Adam Putnam

The Conference is not formally a decision-making body. It is rather a place where the main branches of the College's activities can share information, anticipate opportunities and difficulties, aid in smooth coordination with each other, and brainstorm about perspectives on issues of College-wide significance. Decisions are, however, owned by the administrator in the area being discussed or by the President. Thus, we intend the Conference to be a facilitative group, rather than a hurdle to be faced by anyone proposing change.
