I hope that you are having a safe and enjoyable summer break.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your hard work and dedication in the 2013-14 academic year, and to thank Dr. Katrina D’Aquin for accepting the position of Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty upon the absence of Dr. David Black. We are looking forward to welcoming Dr. David Ewing as our new Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty starting on July 1. Many of you have already had the opportunity to meet him, and know that he will provide excellent leadership for Bethany College.
I also wanted to remind you of some important dates, so that you can mark your calendars now. The State of the College Address is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19, with the Fall Faculty Workshop to follow. This year’s workshop will include the important topic of Title IX, accompanied by a federally mandated training session. Please make your plans now to attend. The annual Fall Chair Workshop will be held on Wednesday, August 20. Matriculation is scheduled for Saturday, August 23, and classes start on Monday, August 25.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and be sure to mark your calendars for these important dates.
