Crookston updates (November 2015)

Higher Learning Commission visits Crookston
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) was on campus November 9-11. Meetings with the various constituents on campus went very well, largely due to the advance preparation by staff.

Regents visit Crookston
Four members of the Board of Regents visited campus in late October, where they attended multiple open forums with faculty, staff, and students and toured the campus.

New spaces
The Admissions Department vacated their shared office space in mid-September leaving the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships a plethora of space.
The new $15 million Wellness Center is currently under construction and scheduled to open summer 2016.

Comings and goings
An analysis of the Admissions Department is being conducted by our interim Admissions Director, Bill Cleaveland, U of MN Twin Cities. This review will assist in creating a new job description for the Admissions Director, which should be posted early next year.

Barb Phaiah has been hired for a full-time position in OTR as Principle Office & Administrative Specialist, starting November 9. For the last two years, Barb has been working in OTR at a 75% appointment as a Office Support Assistant.

OTR is in the process this week of interviewing several candidates to fill another Principle Office & Administrative Specialist position related to the review of transcripts being shifted to OTR.
