Rivers' major responsibilities as associate chair will be course scheduling each semester and the ongoing task of making the departmental budget.
Rivers brings a good deal of previous administrative experience to problem solving.
As a respite from those numbers, Rivers will continue with his scholarship in several areas. In addition, he is working on a long bibliographical essay about the history of business and technical writing. Even though his spare time is limited, he manages to play racquetball at noon most weekdays. Also, once a week, he plays trumpet in a brass ensemble at Union Methodist Church in Irmo.
