Prescott College Presidential Search Committee Announcement


Three Finalists Have Been Identified And Campus Visits Have Been Scheduled


After reviewing more than 125 applications and conducting personal interviews with the top five candidates, the Prescott College Presidential Search Committee has chosen three finalists to meet the community. 


Every effort has been made to include the highest number of community members as possible in this important stage of the process as possible. In the proposed schedule, times have been set aside both for constituent groups to meet the candidates and for a community presentation that everyone is invited to attend. Our hope is that if a community member cannot attend a constituent group meeting because of another important commitment, they could make time to attend the community presentation. In addition to these sessions, the presidential candidates will meet a cross-section of representatives of various parts of our community in smaller settings, as well as those people who would be their direct reports.


The candidates in the order of their visits to campus are:

Kristin Woolever, Dean and Director of the Campus of the University of New Hampshire-Manchester arrived in Prescott on February 15 and was on campus for interviews February 16
and 17.

Edwin Clausen, Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Daemen College arrived in Prescott on February 17 and was on campus for interviews February 18 and 19.

Steven Corey, Executive Vice-President of Prescott College will have campus interviews February 24 and 25.


The search committee is delighted with the qualifications of our three finalists and eager for the larger Prescott community to interact with these fine individuals.


I would like to thank the entire Prescott community for its patience and understanding as the Presidential Search Committee works together to complete this exciting and detailed task.


Gerald D. Secundy
Vice-Chair, Board of Trustee
Chair of the Presidential Search Committee

2010 Alumni Challenge

From the Office of Alumni Relations

For several years running, US News and World Report has rated Prescott College as a “Best in the West” College in their list of best colleges in the United States. One criteria used to determine this ranking is alumni giving.  At the present time, Prescott College alumni only donate approximately 8% of the College's Annual Fund. The national average for alumni giving at private institutions is approximately 25%. In order to sustain our "Best in the West" ranking, we challenge you to increase our alumni giving percentage and in turn support our current students.
  

Keep in mind that we do not accept dues for membership into the Prescott College Alumni Association. Every individual who has ever graduated from or attended classes at Prescott College (RDP, ADP, MAP, and Ph.D.) is considered an alumnus and has active membership status in the Prescott College Alumni Association (PCAA). As a member of PCAA, you automatically receive monthly e-newsletters, Transitions Magazine, notices about alumni gatherings, access to alumni benefits and discounts, social networking, position announcements, career networking, and more! In lieu of collecting dues, we encourage you to support current Prescott College students. Prescott College relies on your gifts.

"I could not afford to go to Prescott College if it wasn't for the scholarships that I receive.  Scholarships give an opportunity for lower-income individuals to attend an exemplary school such as Prescott College. Scholarships also help to retain the high-caliber students that promote and model what Prescott College stands for.  I deeply appreciate the financial help that I receive from the annual fund at Prescott College." -William Seabaugh, Current PC Student

After leaving Prescott in July of 2007 with my husband, James Pierson and infant daughter Parula, we set on an adventure to the east coast, back to the same time zone as our families. We have ended up in mid-coast Maine in a tight community of Belfast. We have recently become involved with the Belfast Cohousing and Ecovillage, a community in its planning stages located on 30 acres of farmland with a mission to promote agriculture, community, and sustainability. With the addition of our second child in August of 2008, Sorrel, we feel it will be a great place for us to live. We have already made some great connections with the people of the community. I have come to find out that many people actually know quite a bit to Prescott College and have several connections directly to the school already!

Rendered: a drawing invitational, works by Rebecca Davis,
Jeffrey Holmes, and Alison Spain

by Jennifer Chandler
Prescott College Sam Hill Gallery Coordinator
jchandler@prescott.edu

Rendered: A Drawing InvitationalThe works of three talented artists Rebecca Davis, Jeffrey Holmes and Alison Spain converge in Rendered: a drawing invitational at the Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse. This exhibition opens March 10 and runs through April 3, 2010, with a reception for the artists March 26, 5 to 7 p.m., in conjunction with the Prescott 4th Friday Art Walk.


Born in Colorado, Rebecca Davis has spent most of her artistic career creating art from natural materials, working mostly in sculpture and installations. After her arrival in Prescott in 1982, she began collaborating with her husband, Roger Asay, in a series of installation pieces entitled “Wood & Stone, Substance & Spirit,” which consisted of loose, minimal arrangements of natural material. The pieces appeared in museums and art centers throughout Arizona and in Roswell, N.M. and Austin, Tex. This minimal, geometric approach to form has carried over into an exploration of monumental drawings she began in 2003. Rebecca states, “I seek an experience akin to the thrill of uncertainty when we are touched by the unknown, not unlike peering into dark space, dark storms, or that fragile point between life and death …”


Jeffrey Holmes, originally from New England, currently resides in Prescott, Ariz. Jeff received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Arizona State University.  His drawings combine seemingly disparate subject matter to create provocative narratives. "As I work, I search for that moment when the whole mysteriously comes together, when the imagery, marks and play of light and dark synchronize into revelation."


Alison Spain was born in Buffalo, New York. She moved west to Olympia, Wash., in 1992 to attend The Evergreen State College. There she began working with the landscape of the Pacific Northwest, and was greatly influenced by a chance workshop with artist Marilyn Frasca. She received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Montana State University in 2004 and received a Fulbright Fellowship to Mexcio in 2005. Alison is currently an adjunct professor of art at George Mason University. She lives and works in D.C. and Baltimore. Alison states, “My images are generated from perceived and imagined landscapes as a way to explore the interaction between place/space, inhabitant(s) & moment(s) …”


As always, all events are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 to 3 p.m.


This exhibit is made possible in part by funding from Arizona Commission on the Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts, the Clowes Fund, Inc, the Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council, and the City of Prescott.

Posted Last Month:    New Internships   New Jobs 

Summer 2010 Internships at the Randall Davey Audubon Center

The Randall Davey Audubon Center (RDAC) education staff relies heavily on interns and volunteers to conduct our programs.  Interns are college students or recent graduates who are interested in pursuing a career in education or science. RDAC offers approximately 10-week internships to individuals seeking professional experience in environmental education. Each intern receives training in a wide variety of education programs; the operations and activities of a nature center and nonprofit organization; and principles of environmental interpretation, art and historic interpretation, and natural history of New Mexico. Interns will work directly with the education staff carrying out responsibilities necessary to meet RDAC’s objectives.


Duties of RDAC Summer Interns
During the summer, interns primarily assist with the teaching of our popular nine-week summer day camp programs at RDAC. Interns assist in curriculum development of camp programs, preparation for activities, and overall implementation of the camp programs. Day camp programs are conducted at RDAC and adjoining properties. Students range in age from post-kindergarten to 11. Leadership camps are for ages 12 to 17 years.


All of Audubon’s Summer Day Camps are filled with science investigation, nature exploration, creative arts, stories, hiking, and hands-on learning. A variety of themes are offered throughout the summer and activities are adapted for each age group. Duties may include family nights and an overnight camp experience.


In addition to teaching responsibilities, intern duties range on a daily basis from curriculum development, creating interpretive displays, facility up-keep, orientation for visitors, clerical duties, to assistance with our RDAC staff. All intern responsibilities will emphasize RDAC’s mission while participating in a team atmosphere. Constituents of RDAC may include, but are not limited to, students, educators, RDAC visitors, renters of the facility, special events participants, and RDAC staff.


Summer Intern Qualifications:
Anyone with a minimum of two years of college-level study may apply. Academic training in natural resources, natural sciences (geology, biology), environmental science, education, recreation, or related field is strongly desired. Preference will be given to candidates with some natural history background and a demonstrated interest in environmental education. Applicants must be flexible and able to lead groups in an outdoor setting including hiking at a high elevation and have willingness to do a wide variety of administrative duties. Spanish language skills are highly desired.


Summer Intern Compensation:
Internships run approximately 10 weeks in duration. Summer 2010 internships are tentatively scheduled to begin early June and end early August, 2010. Interns receive an hourly living wage that typically ranges between $9.50 and $10 per hour (exact salary will be determined at time of hire), and work 30 hours per week for this 10-week period, with potential for onsite, shared housing. If housing is available on-site, interns live in a quaint historic casita that is fully furnished and accommodates two people in a dorm-like setting.  Responsibilities for those living onsite includes opening and closing the facility gate mornings and evenings based on RDAC’s daily schedule of operations. Authorization for a background check and satisfactory results are necessary if hired.


To Apply:
Please fill out the Intern application (online at http://nm.audubon.org) specifying summer internships and send it with a cover letter, resume, and three references to the RDAC Education Department, P.O. Box 9314, Santa Fe, N.M. 87504 or email it to Jeremy Philipp at jphilipp@audubon.org. Positions are open until filled so apply early.


Audubon promotes a diverse workplace and is an equal opportunity employer. It is the policy of the National Audubon Society to employ the person best qualified for the job regardless of race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability (handicap), or marital status.

Ecos Newsletter was named in recognition of both new beginnings and past memories of our "Home" in Prescott. Reconnect with Prescott College and join us in celebrating the building of new relationships!

"Our culture has forgotten that the words ecology and economics come from the same Greek root ecos, which means Home. Ecology is the study of the Home, while economics is the management of the Home.  How can we possibly understand the relationships of ecology and economics if we have lost the meaning of Home?"
