3 Meetings & 29 down
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.

Tribal College Meeting
A meeting has been scheduled to discuss the potential of developing a tribal college in Sitka. The announcement was made by Ted Wright, who was part of a group to lead this effort years ago, and who has received several calls since SJ's closure. The meeting is not necessarily about converting SJ to a tribal college, but to discuss the issue of a tribal college in general. The meeting will take place 6:00 - 7:30 PM Thursday, October 11 in the Maksoutoff Room of the Centennial Building.
