Welcome reception for Judith Redwine:  Dr. Redwine will arrive at Skyline on Wednesday, March 9 to begin her duties as our Interim Vice President for Student Services.  Please join me at a welcome reception for her on Friday, March 11 from 10:30-12:00 in Room 5131.  During the past few months, Jennifer Hughes and Sherri Hancock have shared the duties of the vice president, meeting regularly with me and serving on my cabinet.  I am grateful for their excellent assistance and leadership. It has been a pleasure to work closely with both of them and to learn from them about the terrific student support services at Skyline College.
