Interim Provost Katie Gantz served as a senior administrator co-facilitator at the 2022 Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) Beard Leadership Circle at Sonoma State University in California. The focus of the three-day BLC summer institute was support for early- to mid-career department chairs/program directors from COPLAC member institutions. Approximately 40 participants met to address common challenges, develop professional networks, share resources and build decision-making strategies.

The College community will experience a little disruption this semester as crews begin the second phase of a safe pathway for pedestrians along Point Lookout Road (Route 5). The public can expect to see construction activity on the College campus side of Route 5; however, no lane closures are anticipated.

Construction includes an asphalt path separated from the existing highway right-of-way by a grass buffer. The path will extend from just north of the Charles “Chip” Jackson footbridge at the St. John’s Pond inlet to College Drive.
