Professor of Mathematics Jim Harris was recently presented a plaque for his many years of service as chair of the College's Curriculum and Instruction Committee. Harris, who became chair in 1997, is set to retire later this year. He was presented with the plaque prior to chairing his last meeting on April 3. The Curriculum and Instruction Committee makes recommendations to the Vice-President for Instruction; approves all new curriculum and course proposals which are then subject to College Council for final approval; assists in the development of curriculum; develops internal policies delineating the procedures through which curricular changes are achieved; and develops policies and procedures designed to encourage the improvement of instruction. Pictured above with Harris are Vice-President for Instruction Julia Schroeder, President Robert Mees, and Associate Dean for Baccalaureate Transfer Mark Henson.
