THANK YOU FROM DR. ELLIOTT
Dr. Elliott, the presidential candidate from Meridian Community College, sent me an e-mail yesterday to express his thanks to the PJC faculty and staff who had made his visit to PJC so pleasant; in fact, he said that he and his wife "were treated like royalty."
In his email, Dr. Elliott addressed the concern that was raised about his commitment to PJC if he were selected given that his parents and daughter live in South Florida. He wanted to assure the faculty that he would be "absolutely committed" to PJC and the people it serves. As he stated in his BOT interview, Dr. Elliott considers PJC a premiere college and would be "darned lucky to have the opportunity to come to PJC."
He was on his way to Jackson to lobby for additional funding, but wanted to take the time to thank us for our hospitality and the high commitment the College demonstrated to meeting the mission of the institution.

DINNER WITH DR. HAFNER
A PJC faculty member (not Charlotte) joined a group of PJC career service, professional staff and administrators last night at dinner with Dr. Hafner. Here are the comments from the faculty member:
"Last night was a very enjoyable evening and I was glad to meet Dr. Hafner. He interracted well with all of us.
Overall impression: positive. At one point he asked what we were looking for in a President. I said that the faculty would like to see more support to achieve academic excellence. He seemed to be EXTREMELY supportive of this idea and went into detail about the importance of sabbaticals, spd projects for faculty, etc. even in times when other items must be cut from the budget. He spoke of his classroom experience and seemed sincerely supportive of faculty issues."

6 Forums, 2 Interviews and 1 Dinner Later
What a week! Attending each of the forums, both of the interviews and having dinner with one of the candidates made for a busy week.
How good it was to see so many people at each of the forums! Faculty has been well represented at each campus forum and you have been asking good questions. With only an hour set aside for each forum, I'm sure there have been times when there were more questions than time allowed, but we have been able to have several important questions asked and answered (or in some cases not answered which is just as telling) and have been able to observe the first two candidates.
Thank you for your postings...I will "sort them out by candidate" so at the end of this week, you'll be able to see at a glance what has been said about each candidate.
Please keep in mind that it is the Board of Trustees that will make the selection. At each forum I have seen at least two Trustees and at the Pensacola forums there were five Trustees in attendance. It is important that the Trustees hear from you. Email and personal addresses for each Trustee can be found within the blog.
Now to this week: Dr. Elliott from Meridian (MS) Community College will be on campus today and tomorrow. Dr. Hafner from St. Pete will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday. Keep up the good showing on behalf of the faculty as we learn more about these candidates!
BE INFORMED. BE INVOLVED.

BOT EMAIL ADDRESSES
Several people have asked for the email adresses for the Board of Trustees. While email is often quicker for the writer, I would encourage you to follow up with a letter to the home address of each Trustee. There is a different message sent, I believe, when a person takes the time to write a personal letter. Just my two cents worth. Either way, please make your concerns and evaluations of the candidates known.
