NEW FACE IN A312
FROM CINDY SAGERS: Two office spaces in the RO have been vacated by recent resignations. The RO is offering one of these spaces to the sixth floor to help with a space crunch as they fill new positions, accommodate interim administrators, and provide office space for retirees on 1039. Dr. Brenda McComb will retire on July 30th and take on 1039 status to assist the interim VP Academic Affairs transition to the position. I have invited Brenda to relocate from the sixth floor to the RO in early August as she moves into 1039 status. This arrangement is temporary and will be superseded by demands for new office space in the RO. Please join me in welcoming Brenda to the RO.
