A New Title

Things are moving along at work...sometimes slowly. The office renovation is still taking place so Joe is still without an office. It should be completed by next week and with the new office comes a new title...Joe has officially been named the Dean of Students! As of now, this does not mean any further responsibilities but definitely does a better job of explaining what exactly he will be doing...it also commands more respect. Our department is going through a lot right now as far as personnel goes. We are obviously new to our positions, there are a few new Residence Directors on campus, and we also have a new Vice President! The current VP has taken a position teaching Biology full time here at ETBU but we have had the privilege to work with him for a few weeks. He has introduced many new phrases and ideas to Lindsay about East Texas, the South, and Texas in general...Joe just laughs in the background :) We are extremely excited about the new Vice President. He is definitely here for the students, as we are, and is all about giving Student Services a better name on campus. He officially begins on July 1 but has been in to meet with us and also to let us know that we aka Lindsay can help choose new wall and carpet colors! He wants the place to look spic and span for our new "image". We need it and look forward to being a part of it!
