Welcome to Summer Quarter 2011!
 As much as there is a great deal to love about break weeks when things have calmed down a tad, there is a whole lot more to love about seeing cars in the parking lots, hearing trusted voices in the classrooms, watching excited students line up to get textbooks and to complete their registration. It all means that despite some of our recent challenges, what we are doing is good and worthy of praise.
Throughout this week we will be saying our "goodbyes" to some employees and be welcoming others into new departments. We would like to express our gratitude to those leaving us for their service to the College.
Next week we start welcoming new students and their parents as they come in to register for fall quarter. In addition to giving them a warm welcome, help them to know what a good choice they've made to come to Hocking College. |
