President's Convocation, Aug. 20

To: Faculty and Staff

From: Paul J. Zingg
President

Subject: President’s Convocation
Thurs., Aug. 20, 2009, 3:30pm, PAC 144

The President’s Convocation this year will be on Thurs., Aug. 20, at 3:30pm in Harlen Adams Theatre, PAC 144. This is an occasion to share impressions and perspectives with the University community, something which I very much look forward to doing after my five and a half years with you. A reception will follow in the PAC Courtyard.

I ask that managers and supervisors allow staff reporting to them to attend, within the limits of safety and good sense, so that they may participate in this event.

Retirement Open House for Amy Boles, Aug. 21

Amy Boles is retiring after 33 years with the university. She spent the last 11 years in the President’s office as the President’s personal assistant and aide. Amy is retiring in much the same way she has worked here at the University, dedicated, hard working, and without fan fare. Her plans in retirement include travel, outdoor activities, working on home improvement projects, and providing “proper direction” to her husband who also has retired from State service. Please join us in the President’s Office (Kendall 105) from 2pm to 4pm on Friday, Aug. 21, 2009, for an open house and Amy’s last day, to celebrate (or in our case to lament) Amy’s retirement from the University. She will be greatly missed as both a colleague and a friend.

We will miss you Amy. Paul Zingg, Karla Zimmerlee, Sue Hedrick and Donna Gauthier.
