Two meetings held tomorrow may shed some light on the future direction of (or at least the future after) Sheldon Jackson College.
First, the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE) will hold their regularly scheduled meeting at 9:00am, Thursday, October 11th. To call in and listen by audio-conference, dial 1-800.315.6338. When prompted, enter the conference id# 6740#. I'm not sure where SJ is on the agenda.
Later Thursday evening at 7:30pm, a meeting is being held to discuss the possibilities of developing a tribal college in Sitka. If you've read earlier posts, you'll know that this may not involve SJ directly, but certainly is of interest to those who value education. The meeting is held at Centennial Hall.
There's also been a discussion happening in the comments section about a "former employee" gathering. I propose that we meet next Tuesday, October 16th, 7:00PM at Centennial Hall. On the agenda: severance & annual leave, updates, and fellowship.
RSVP via "comments".
Also, today marks the last day of employment for 29 of the remaining 35 employees at SJ. I wish each of you every success. Please keep us in the loop as to your plans. I have personally received great support from the Department of Labor and the Job Center. Dave Reid and Barb Truitt have been wonderful. Contact them at 747-3423.

Best of luck to the 29 leaving today. TO the remaining six: I wouldn't feel too secure. See how easily your friends and coworkers were discarded?
The time and date sounds good to me.
On another note I understand that Klukwan Corporation is taking over property management and maintenance of the SJ. Does anyone know anything about this?
SJC is engaging Chilkat Services of Haines to help with property management and development. Russ Thorpe, of Chilkat, is on campus and staying in Kellogg.
I'm glad he is in Kellogg this way he will know when the the boilers are down in DSH. And since one of them has been broken for motnhs the other is more than likely going to fail soon. I hope he keeps an eye on the other buildings too. I really don't want to see broken pipes in all the buildings when it gets cold this winter.
Fred Knowles actually put in a bid and was passed over in favor of this group. sad.
This is a liquidation team not a a maintenence crew.
