New VPs meet faculty

Temporary additions to Fullerton College’s administration Savannah Jones, Interim Vice President of Instruction and Richard Storti, Interim Vice President of Administrative Services, met with the FC community at a gathering held outside the President’s office. They had a chance to mingle with instructors and tend to any questions or concerns they had. These new appointments resulted after the loss of two VPs, Claudette Dain, previous VP of Administrative Service who is now at Citrus College and Terry Giugni previous VP of Instruction who is now at Napa Valley College. The area in front of President Rajen Vurdien’s office Storti was buzzing with chatter as different instructors and other staff members crowded around the new interim VP’s and new Director of Maintenance Operations and Jones Facilities, Larry Lara, last Tuesday. Vurdien mentioned that selecting the two interim VP’s was dependent on finding individuals with the proper capabilities for the job so they can jump right in. “You can’t bring in a new person who doesn’t know the job because by the time the interim period is over, you would have just spent the whole period training the person,” Vurdien said. Jones held similar responsibilities at the Community College of Philadelphia and Storti was previously a part of the Wilshire Center School of Continuing Education. {see Positions page 3 }
