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 bi-weekly, consists of the 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); the Registrar and Associate Dean of the College (Bonita Washington-Lacey); the Associate Academic Dean (Kari Kalve); the Associate Academic Dean for Program Development (Alice Shrock); the Clerk of the Faculty (John Howell); the Coordinator of Information Services (Tom Kirk); the Associate Dean for Residence Life (Kevin Schaudt); the Associate Dean for Student Success (Wendy Seligmann); the Associate VP for Annual Giving (Kevin Klose); the Associate VP for Institutional Advancement (Kim Tanner); the Associate VP for Public Affairs (Karen Roeper); the Assistant VP for Business Operations (Dana North); the Director of International Programs (Patty Lamson); the Director of Admissions (Nancy Sinex); Director of Financial Aid (Robert Arnold); Director of Athletics (Frank Carr); Controller (Cathy Habschmidt); Assistant Director of Facilities (Cindy Callahan) and the 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.
