New campus opens to public, President Harrison makes first tour
The new Delaware Campus officially opened for business yesterday at 8 a.m., and soon thereafter, the first two prospective students were welcomed by President Harrison and Dean Jan Rogers in the Enrollment Center, where a little more than a week ago we stood watching a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
July 7 was Dr. Harrison’s first visit to the campus, and the Delaware Campus staff was ready to show him around. Click through the following photo gallery to see a few moments in Delaware’s First Day!
President Harrison greets staff from the Columbus and Delaware campuses upon his arrival.
Steve and Teresa Heeter of Delaware are the first prospective students to arrive on the new campus. He's 38, and wants to study biology. She's 37 and is undecided on a major. Greeting them is Dean Jan Rogers.
Sherea Washington, Student Services advisor, helps the Heeters at a computer kiosk in the Enrollment Center.
An appropriate promotional item for the day: paper fans!

New campus print management vendor selected
Benefits of the new print management contract are:
This is the first change in copier suppliers for the college in 20 years. While Purchasing and Office Services will manage most of the activities required to ensure a smooth transition, the biggest change that you will notice is that your copier will switch from Xerox to Ricoh. Ikon has already installed copiers and printers at the new Delaware Campus. New copiers will be installed by Ikon at the Off Campus sites and Columbus Campus over the next 3-4 weeks. A building-by-building installation schedule will be published soon. Onsite training will be conducted by Ikon when new copiers are installed, and a training open house is being planned for next month. Additional details regarding training will be shared soon. In addition to the equipment changes, we have also been working on a new print management program. Once the equipment has been installed and everyone has had time to become comfortable using it, we will communicate tips on how to print more efficiently and sustainably, building upon features such as network scanning that are currently in place. Our goal is to minimize the impact of the transition on the campus community. Please let us know if you are having any issues. Questions should be addressed to Darrin Albaugh, Office Services, at ext. 2566 or Brad Farmer, Purchasing at ext. 2641. |
