TELEPHONE AND FIBER OPTIC CABLE CUTOVER
Friday, August 10
As part of the PUB remodel project, much of our telephone and fiber optic network infrastructure needs to be rerouted.  This work is being done after hours or on weekends whenever possible, but some work will occur during times when people are working on campus.  The schedule for this week is as follows:

Service to the Library will be cut over beginning at 12:00 noon today (Thursday, 8/9/07).  All telephone service to the library will be down during this procedure with service being restored sometime late Thursday night.

Fiber Optic cutovers will occur Friday evening resulting in sporadic but short network outages to the south and west areas of campus. The "Green Monster" telephone cable that serves the far north end of campus will be cut over on Saturday.  This service will be down for most of the day on Saturday.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
President's Senior Executive Team (PSET)
During our All-Campus Meetings on reorganization, I mentioned that the PLT (President’s Leadership Team) would be reconfigured and renamed in July of this year.  After much discussion and careful thought, the vice presidents and I have decided to rename the PLT, the President's Senior Executive Team (PSET). 

PSET is comprised of the VP for Academic Affairs, the VP for Administrative Services*, the VP for Human Resources and College Relations**, the VP for Student Success*, the Director of the Foundation* and the Executive Assistant to the President.  The PSET will meet weekly on Mondays to discuss issues affecting the College.  Once a month, the group will be expanded to include the four Special Assistants to the President—Budget and Internal Control; Diversity, Equity and Student Leadership; Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Planning; and Public Information and Stakeholder Relations.  Members of the campus community will also be asked to attend PSET meetings on a regular basis to present information.

*Contracts for Ritva Manchester, Andrea Rye, Stuart Trippel and Bernice Vonnegut have been rolled over for this year (2007 – 2008). Beginning in the fall, it is my hope to form screening committees for the VP for Administrative Services, the VP for Student Success and the Director of the Foundation positions.  **The search for a VP for Human Resources and College Relations is planned for the following fall (2008).
