Personnel notes

A friend to all and a surrogate mother to many, ELI secretary Dolly Desiderio accepted a promotion in July to work in the Office of Residential Life. We miss her already.

Joe Matterer was promoted to associate director in April, employing his talents in the position previously held by incomparable Katharine Schneider, who retired at the end of March (see article "Katharine Schneider retires".)

Deborah Detzel, an energetic teacher and administrator, replaced Joe as ELI’s assistant director.

Ruth Jackson brought her distinguished ELI teaching career to a close in June, when she retired after 19 years of dedicated service.

Teacher and tutor Wendy Bulkowski returned to ELI from a two-year stint as visiting professor for Kobe Shoin Women’s University.

Long-time tutor Patrick Ruffin decided to pursue his passion for cars and accepted a position as coordinator for web-based sales with a large automobile dealership.

Finally, indefatigable Ken Cranker, teacher and SALC coordinator, also became the coordinator of the Tutoring Center.
