\"regina-action\"<\/a>I would like to thank all of the faculty, staff and students for a tremendously successful academic year. We are incredibly fortunate to be a part of such a vibrant, innovative, excellent and important institution in the community.<\/p>\n

Some of you will be away from the college for the summer \u2013 I hope you have an opportunity to refresh and relax. Some of us will be there throughout the summer continuing to serve students and carry out the general operations of the college.
\n<\/a>Thank you for your continued and tireless efforts as well.<\/p>\n

We will soon publish an annual report that will allow you and the community to reflect on the college\u2019s accomplishments related to the Mission, Vision, Values, and Strategic Priorities. We have a lot to celebrate and a lot more to do. Your enthusiasm and willingness to engage and participate makes us all better able to serve.<\/p>\n

In the next few weeks, we will announce the President\u2019s Innovation Funds Awards so the recipients may return in the fall and begin their projects and programs immediately. The President\u2019s Council raised more than 120,000 dollars \u2013 a great job indeed. The requests totaled over a half-million dollars. That means that we were not able to fund all of the great ideas and will definitely encourage the proposers to seek alternate sources and consider applying in the following year. Much more to come on this topic in the near future.<\/p>\n

We are finishing up the year with a host of hiring processes as we bring in new faculty, staff and administrators, most of whom we will meet on the opening day in the fall. The work is hard, the process is long and can even be tiresome, but certainly, it is a good problem to have\u2026having to have all these interviews and hire all these great people!<\/p>\n

Finally, thank you for the great work in supporting our students in their educational pursuits. We have many who leaving as they graduate, transfer, go to work or do any combination of the three. Yet, we have many more coming in the front door to get started. And we are right here ready to serve them. Let\u2019s all say congratulations to the class of 2014 and welcome to the next class.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful summer\u2026.<\/p>\n
