HACC YORK CAMPUS NEWS NOVEMBER 2017
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CAMPUS VP
THANK YOU for making my first year at HACC an enjoyable and
exciting learning experience. Over the past twelve months, I have gotten
to know many of you very well and look forward to spending time over
the next year connecting and building stronger personal and professional
relationships with my HACC family.
As I write this month’s newsletter, I am reminded of a recent article
shared by our President, Dr. Ski. The article was entitled: The Need for
Slower Administrators by Thomas J. Pfaff. In summary, the article
postulates that for administrators to be actively engaged in campus
conversations, and to be the models to the rest of the college, they need to
allow their campus colleagues to expect authentic conversations and less
appearance of busyness.
I can attest that slower is sometimes better. We all should strive for less
hurriedness and busyness and more informal interactions in spaces such
as our student commons, our faculty bays, the Glatfelter Community
Room, or at the Roosevelt Tavern. Hurried schedules, family calendars,
and ever changing job expectations often deprive us of opportunity to get
to know each other. To build connections, we should seek time to meet
face-to-face on campus, discuss ideas, and share opinions about the future
of our campus.
In the days ahead, when you see me enter your workspace, there is no
need to stress. I am simply slowing down to say hello, to ask how you
are, and to see how I can make your day-to-day responsibilities more
efficient and productive so that together, we advance the York campus.
Thank you for taking the time to read our November newsletter.
