SJ(C?) cancels Science Center lease...new one in the works

The Sitka Sentinel reported on Wednesday, July 30th that SJ(C?) had recently notified the Sitka Sound Science Center that their lease was being terminated because the original lease was arranged by Chilkat Services, and was out of the scope of Chilkat's contract with the College. Reportedly, a new lease is in the works.

I certainly hope that the terms of the new lease will support the work of the SSSC.

  1. A lot was supposed to happen today if a new owner of the SJC campus didn't appear. Are we about to see a liquidation and closing of the organization we know as Sheldon Jackson College?

  4. Please remember that it is not SJC, it is the people charged with administering the 'renovation' and 'reorganization'. Hopefully, they will look beyond their own .... and ...

    Best wishes to all that have kept focus on the dream of SJC!

  5. Could someone please post on this blog who the current Board of Trustees consists of? I wish one of the Board Members would update this blog and answer the question...What is going on?!?!?!

  8. I heard on Wednesday that they had a meeting on Monday. I guess some things will never change.

  9. Does anyone have a number I could use to call anyone left at SJ? It's kind of important. Is it just Dobler left?

  10. Best of luck reaching anyone, Bill. You might be better off reaching the State of Alaska's Board of Higher Education. I think Dobler and Debbie Puckett are still there.

  11. Thanks Lion. Way to keep it optomistic. Yeah, the numbers I have don't even go to that "We're sorry . . ." The phone just goes dead as soon as I hit call.

  12. Much of what you might need is available at alaskaadvantage.state.ak.us; look for the link on the right side of the page. If you need the Registrar, call 907-957-1640. Kathy will let you know how to get what you need.

  15. is it me or did the board shrink?

    ReplyDelete
  16. The Board is smaller than it used to be and I don't believe all of these are serving at present. Ethel Staton told me she is no longer on the Board.
