Checking-In from Washington D.C.

Good Morning!

It is a beautiful day here in Washington D.C.! Although the clouds are covering the sun, the conference that I am at is providing me with a refreshed, new perspective on student success even in a time that money is tight. I am excited to share with each areas some of the ideas that have surfaced during this conference and bring back tools to strengthen our service to the students and the Triton College community.

Please remember the following events that are coming up-

Fall Family Fun Fest- October 1st 10am-2pm
Join Triton College in celebrating the fall season! Bring your family to enjoy a corn maze, pumpkin patch, arts & crafts and so much more. Hope to see you there!

Mid-Term Exams/Projects-
The Mid-Term is quickly approaching. Please be mindful of the stress that this time of year creates for our students. Let's do what we can to ease their stress by going the extra mile to provide outstanding service.

October 11th - Faculty Holiday
Just a reminder that no classes will be held on Tuesday, October 11th due to the faculty holiday. Since this occurs during the mid-term we will be open regular hours. Please let me know if you have any questions.

REMINDERS

Please work with your supervisor to update your contact information on your departmental emergency phone tree. We are quickly moving toward the winter season which can be very unpredictable. It is important that we have accurate contact information for you just in case.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Special Congratulations to Cynthia Romanowski for her selection and participation in the President's Leadership Academy. The Division has successfully sent several members to the President's Leadership Academy in the past including Lucy Smith, Elvis Ortega and Dubravka Juraga. I am also a past leadership participant. If you are interest in this unique opportunity please let me know so that I can forward your information to the President's Office for consideration.


As always, I appreciate the work that you do on a daily basis to support student success and the mission and vision of Triton College. Keep up the good work and have a great week!

Debbie
