Staff Lounge-Aderhold

Present: Betty Blum, Janice Cieslak, Jennifer Guyton, Rene' Hammond, Jeanne Meeler, Teresa Melton, Cindy Molloy, Etta Roberts, Jacquee Rosumny, Heidi Sartain, and Julie Sartor

Rene' Hammond began the meeting with discussion of the reconstruction of the College of Education. Rene' spoke with Dr. Jeri Benson last week regarding how staff would be involved with the committee established for the restructure. Rene' said that she had received an email from Mary Cash (Counseling Dept.) requesting that she be considered to serve on the committee. Dr. Benson said that Dean Castenell will have 3 committees instead of the one and that one of the committees will be made up of staff with Rene' Hammond chairing the committee. No committee will be set-up until the first of the year. It is encouraged that those who serve on the committee be supportive to the College offering suggestions for the restructure as well as being a liaison between staff and the Dean.
