PLEASE POST OFFICE OF THE PROVOST ELEANOR ROOSEVELT COLLEGE September 13, 1994 KEY ADMINISTRATORS/KEY SUPPORT STAFF OFFICE MAIL DISTRIBUTION CONTACTS SUBJECT: Eleanor Roosevelt College As many are aware, in March the Regents approved our proposal that Fifth College be named Eleanor Roosevelt College in honor of the woman recognized worldwide as America's first "citizen of the world," a preeminent reformer in civil rights, education and youth concerns, fair labor practices, the women's movement, human rights, and international understanding. This Fall marks the beginning of our first academic year under our new name. We will continue to advance the ideals and mission of Fifth College. We intend to build upon the educational vision of the the College founders, particularly Provost Jamie Lyon and Deans Harriet Marsh and Jane Hett. We shall urge our students to become active partners in their own education, to travel and study abroad when they are able, to learn another language, to experience culturally diverse communities at home wherever possible, and to be ever and always curious and engaged with learning. We are very pleased to welcome Dr. David J. Mathieu as Dean of Student Affairs. Dr. Mathieu comes via the Akita, Japan campus of Minnesota State University, where he served for four years as Dean of Student Development. Prior to that, he served as Dean of Student Development at Dakota Wesleyan University; there he had also directed the American Indian Studies Program and the Honors Program. His unique background combining cross-cultural and international education promises exciting developments in these areas for ERC students and the campus as a whole. We welcome back Rae Ann Bories as Assistant Resident Dean. A former Resident Assistant at Fifth College and International House, Rae Ann returns to UCSD after earning her Master's Degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education at the University of Colorado. This Year of Dedication for ERC will be a particularly full and exciting one, and we shall be inviting the campus community to enjoy and participate in a spectrum of activities. Ann L. Craig Provost |
