The president must maintain the strong fiscal condition and endowment growth as well as raise funds to complete the current capital campaign. To build a greater sense of campus community. The president should be able to work in a friendly and respectful fashion with the entire community. The recent past was marked by strained relations among the various constituents of our campus community and we are anxious to return to a shared standard of collegiality. To ensure that we continue to attract and retain the best personnel.
Successful organizations recognize the importance of the human element in institutional success.
An environment needs to exist that fosters equity in the treatment of all faculty and staff, including job titles, responsibilities, workloads and comparable salary ranges. To integrate all members of the community into the learning mission of Alma College. A hallmark of our success has been the many significant contributions of all members of the community. The president must, therefore, nurture an environment in which all members of the campus community are seen as active partners in fostering student development. It is especially important to acknowledge the role of secretarial and maintenance staff, who are deeply committed to the College and to the welfare of students.
