Replacing Retired
Dean Donna Dalton says she doesn't like to use the word "replace" when she talks about filling the positions of two professors who are retiring."Replace' suggests that someone will be hired who will do exactly the same things, and that is rarely the case," Dalton said.
Lyndon State will be saying farewell to professors Linda Mitchell and Barry Hertz who have been a part of the college community for more than 20 years.
The college is faced with a choice to hire new professors or to have current professors teach courses formerly taught by Hertz and Mitchell.
Dalton confirmed that the hiring process is currently in progress, "We have advertised for a new faculty member in Education, who needs to have a degree in Early Childhood Education. We have also advertised for a one-year position in Business."
Change comes every year through new students and new faculty.
But the departure of individuals that have been a part of the college community for years will not go unnoticed.
Dalton says, "We hope that the impact will be minimal, but of course, it is always bittersweet when a long-serving faculty member retires."
