Now that spring semester has ended, I've turned much of my attention to planning for next year. In the past two days we've worked on articles and designs for the college's alumni magazine ("Storyline" which is mailed in late summer/early fall to our alums and friends). I had a great meeting today with the volunteer board that is helping us plan our big Arts Gala (to be held in September--I'll write more about that later). I spent an hour or so planning the audience development and arts promotion schedule (we are resurrecting a former tradition of featuring an "Event of the Week"). I'm also continuing to work on plans for our fall meeting of the Dean's Leadership Circle, planning for budget cuts, and plans for expanding key programs to enhance retention and graduation for our majors. It's a very different pace compared with those last few weeks of class, and it's nice to have some time to actually think!
