Transitions
...
Union conference rooms now have names. Forget the confusing
1,2,3. We’ve named them for our generous donors and the plaques now
are in place. We can move the walls and make them one big one, whatever size.
Speicher Room: far
left, formerly No. 3, donated by the Paul
L. Speicher Foundation (That's the Management Advisory Committee,
above, in this room.)
Lahman Room: in the center with two doors, formerly No. 2,
donated by The Lahman Family: Robin and Jeanette Miller ’50 Lahman,
John R. ’75, David L. ’78, Mary Sollenberger ’76 and Barbara Lahman
’80
Trochu Room: far right, formerly No. 1, donated by Cynthia Hoff
'85 Trochu, a member of the

News to know ...
Hold the phone!
Until the new phone system is installed, hopefully later this
fall, ITS is putting a hold on all phone moves, additions and
changes. Such work would impede installation of the new phone
system. Of course, emergencies are the exception.
Early Alert has a new name … SuccessNet, to symbolically link
to the Success Center and shun negative connotations associated with
“alert.” The new address is
SuccessNet@manchester.edu,
but the old EarlyAlert one still works in case we forget.
This
bronze bust of Gladdys Muir overlooks the lounge area
atop the stairs to the second floor of the College Union. The
College will dedicate the bust, created by Paula Sheller ’55 Adams,
at 10:30 a.m. next Wednesday, Sept. 26. Muir founded peace studies
at Manchester, the oldest program in the world.
