With over 600 faculty teaching in 84 undergraduate majors (and over 80 graduate degree programs), the Franklin College requires a lot of people to function properly. Especially in lean budgetary environments like the current epoch, faculty and support staff, development officers and instructors are pressed to do more and more with less and less.
Interim Dean Hugh Ruppersburg will express his appreciation for all the effort and committment that makes the College what it is with a staff lunch on Thursday May 3 at the Tate Center. It's a small, yet very important way for the dean to express his gratitude, which I feel certain in saying all staff members extend to each other as well - as so many of our duties are connected in various ways. See you other staffers there.
