Each year the campus community is ever renewed with new members, about whom established faculty and staff forever sigh: so young. Even the senior class envies the fresh-faces of the First-Years. The Faculty and Staff population too is ever renewing. Our previous entry on this topic was five years ago so we thought it was time to take a timely re-look at our 25 year and 20 year classes of new faculty and staff from 1996 and 2001.
Beginners from 20 years ago (2001) include — Osiel Bonfim, physics; Kevin Cantrell, chemistry; Brian Dezzani, director of recreational services; Diane Sotak, library. Our 25 year class of new faculty and staff from 1996 includes — Mark Kennedy, engineering; Steven Vegdahl, computer science/engineering; Mary Scroggins, director of printing and mailing services. Joining the 25 year club since our previous post are: Carolyn Connolly, museum; Sr. Carol Dempsey, theology; Terence Favero, biology; Jeffrey Gauthier, philosophy; Steven Kolmes, environmental studies; Lawrence Larsen, theater; Bohn Lattin, communication studies; Norah Martin, philosophy and environmental studies; Martin Monto, sociology; John Orr, English. Each contribute to and enrich our common enterprise. People whose continuing influence benefits UP student life and learning today.
