We are on
our way to Spring 2013 semester and I am ready to get started.
Intersession is a bit quiet for me. Hearing and seeing students at every
corner is now a way of life here at the College.
Our Professional Day promises to be stimulating and inspirational. It
is Wednesday, January 23 and will be held in the Multi-purpose Room. Judy
Snayd has planned the program and enlisted Professor Gail Lowney Alofsin as
presenter. Judy determined this all-college gathering was how she would
choose to allocate the monetary portion of her Educational Excellence Award,
received last year. My thanks and appreciation to Judy. As the agenda shows, a continental breakfast will be available at 8:30
AM. At lunch we will celebrate the launching of the College’s 50th
anniversary. Thames was established in 1963. Two Emeritus Awards
will be given.
At the end of the planned program, George Rezendes and I will roll out the
Strategic Plan in summary form. You will be invited to first read it on
line or hard copy. Later members of the Steering Committee will invite
college community members to meet with them and help shape the next
steps. You will want to stay for another dessert . . .
I look forward to seeing everyone next Wednesday.
