Slide 2 remarks
I’m so glad you are all here. Before we start talking about college matters a brief university-level perspective. As you know, President Loeschke is on leave for the fall semester. Provost Tim Chandler is serving as Acting President and Vice Provost Maggie Reitz as Acting Provost. They are committed to President Loeschke’s vision and working to keep things as seamless as possible.
They are doing an excellent job and COFAC is on track. Our college is strong and moving forward.

We ended last year in good fiscal shape. The college
budget this year was flat, the state allocation to the college did not increase. But we have enough to do what we need and much of what we want to do.
Tom Cascella from Theatre is our COFAC liaison to the 150th steering committee. The COFAC 150th committee, which was formed last year, will begin meeting again soon.
AileyCamp was a big success, 50 campers for 2 weeks in summer 2014. We plan to have camp again in 2015, for 4 weeks.
