DEPLEDGING AT DARTMOUTH
Charles Collis ’37, a lifelong supporter of the College, died Tuesday at the age of 99. Remembered by family and friends as modest and downto-earth despite his prolific accomplishments in business and philanthropy, Collis always credited Dartmouth with teaching him to think and setting him on a path to success.
In addition to the student life center that bears his name, Collis is remembered at the College for his support of academic scholarships and his dedication to making Dartmouth a welcoming environment for all students.

Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson’s departure this June marks the latest in a series of high-level administrative changes at the College. One year after College President Phil Hanlon took office in 2013, six senior positions in his administration will have changed leadership. Since former College President Jim Yong Kim started his tenure in 2009, the senior administration has seen significant structural
changes and 18 of 24 high-level positions transition leadership, some as frequently as three times. Only six senior administrative positions — the deans of the Tuck School of Business and the Thayer School of Engineering, vice president and chief information officer, dean of the libraries, the general counsel and the dean of admissions and financial aid — have not seen changes in leadership since 2009.

“State of the State Poll,” released today. The poll, conducted by a random telephone survey the week of April 21, sampled 412 registered state voters. According to the results, which have a 4.8 percent margin of error, a 2016 presidential election be-

Edward Kim, who began in early April as the interim assistant dean and advisor to the Pan-Asian community in the office of pluralism and leadership, will serve in that role through the end of June. His appointment followed the departure of former assistant dean Aeriel Ashlee, who left for medical reasons.
OPAL has put together a search committee and hopes to fill the position this summer. Ashlee’s departure follows several years of high turnover in OPAL. The Pan-Asian community has seen three advisors in the past two years: former Asian and Asian-American students advisor Nora Yasumura, Ashlee and Kim. SEE KIM PAGE 3
