27, 2001 Dean of Students Bruce Gifford has submitted his resignation after more than 18 years at the University of Alaska Southeast. He has accepted a position as vice president of Student Services at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene and will begin June 1. "It's going to be very tough to leave," Gifford said. "This has been our home. This is where our friends are. But, after nearly two decades in Southeast, both Diana and I are looking for a change, and for a little dryer climate." Chancellor John Pugh said, "Bruce has contributed a great deal to the growth and development of UAS. He will be very difficult to replace." A search for a Dean of Student Services and Enrollment Management is beginning. The dean is responsible for integrating student service functions with academic programs and for directing the university's enrollment management plan. "The chancellor has everything at UAS going in the right direction," Gifford said. "I feel good having had a hand in that. In addition the UAS Student Services staff is excellent, experienced and committed. I know they will continue their outstanding service to students and the university." Gifford started at UAS in 1982 as director of student services on the Ketchikan campus and moved to the Juneau campus in 1988 as part of restructuring. -30-
