COMMENTS FROM THE TUESDAY HEARING HOSTED ON THE WARRINGTON CAMPUS

This session was chaired by Mr. Vincent Andry, Chairman of the PJC Board of Trustees.

Again, this will be a bulleted list of the comments made.

The new president must/should:

• recognize the potential of the planetarium. Understand the importance of instructional technology and distance learning.
• be willing to establish collaborative relationships particularly those with NAS and local hospitals.
• be supportive of all health care programs.
• support simulation as an instructional tool.
• focus on faculty and staff development.
• work to make resources (library, computer lab) available to students 24/7. Recognize that students are trying to fit learning around the rest of their life.
• be an exceptional fundraiser.
• be very engaged on what is going on ALL campuses. Have a shared vision with all campuses. Promote staff, faculty and adjuncts all working together.
• return PJC to its national reputation for academic excellence.
• be able to meet the budgetary challenges and the competition for dollars. Have a commitment to faculty and staff training. Develop PJC's human resources. Appreciate and demonstrate diversity.
• identify with and be committed to faculty, students and the community. The best person could be someone from another area of government or education who already resides in the community.
