| FROM THE DESK OF BYRON HOFFEE: The State of Ohio requires that we conduct an annual fire alarm system inspection/test in all buildings. Our certified contractor performed same in late September noting that the Arts & Sciences building system is prone to intermittent problems and recommended replacing the system. Therefore, the system will be replaced beginning December 20, 2004 and may take up to 5 working days. We will take every reasonable precaution to minimize any disruption to the normal business day. They will not intentionally activate the alarm when people are in the building. If you have any questions or concerns, please call or e-mail my office. |

| PRACTICAL NURSES PINNED ON NOVEMBER 24 |
The first group of PNs completing the evening program went through pinning ceremony on Wednesday November 24. Congratulations to the students, and kudos to our nursing faculty. Ann Stewart recognized her fellow faculty members at Monday's in-service faculty/staff meeting by saying, "Because of the dedication of the full-time day faculty, the evening program can maintain a high level of quality." Our students--and their future patients -- thank you all. Ann is pictured with several of the newly pinned nurses in this week's OnCampus title bar. Diana Eesley also is featured wearing one of the ball caps she presented to students. Diana repeated the motto on the cap several times during their program: "When in Doubt, Check it Out." |

| BARBARA GODFREY RETIRES FROM WASHINGTON STATE |
Barbara joined Washington State in February 1995 as the evening secretary/receptionist for continuing education. She worked for Becky Peroni, then dean of continuing ed. After a year in that position, Barbara became an assistant to Peggy Peterson in the administrative offices. Barbara said her first desk in the administrative suite was the reception desk as you enter the door. Later, with the move of administrators to the new library, she and Peggy stayed in the Main Building and Barbara moved further back to the assistant desk at the opposite end of the hall. With the move of the administrative offices back into the main building a couple of years ago, Barbara moved to the only remaining assistant station in the suite. She jokingly said that she had been moved everywhere that she could within that suite, so her next move would have to be out the door. Colleagues from across campus joined for a surprise party on Tuesday to wish Barbara well in retirement. In her thank you note, Barbara said, "I must say, for the first time in my life I was speechless." Also in her note she recognized her Washington State family. "I have enjoyed working at the college and I’m very sincere in saying that everyone is family. The first day I walked into the college I felt at home and have for my entire ten years here.Thank you again for all the presents but most of all for the friendships which I will truly miss. |
