Student Service Position Filled – Welcome Chip Curry!
The Coordinator of Student Services position is filled and we have offered the job to Glenn (Chip) Curry. Chip worked at Unity College as an Academic Advisor and Coordinator of Student Activities. In addition, he worked at the Muskie School of Public Service as the Project Leader for statewide AmeriCorps/Vista volunteers. He has an MS in College Student Personnel Services from Miami University. I expect that Chip Curry will start on July 25 and overlap with Dagmar through August 2.
