Pete C. Menjares

Celebrating a job well done

Administrators, faculty and staff enjoyed ice cream topped with accomplishment at the WASC celebration.

President Pete C. Menjares, Ph.D., was among those scooping out the goodies during the April 8 event in Shehadey Dining Hall. Polo shirts were also given out to the many from departments across campus who helped prepare for the visit. Stephen Varvis, Ph.D., provost, and Linda Pryce Sheehan, Ed.D., associate dean for accreditation and registrar, led the effort.

Song and praise celebrated the inauguration of Pete C. Menjares, Ph.D.

Better is one day in your courts/Better is one day in your house/Better is one day in your courts/Than thousands elsewhere

“Better is One Day”—the song and the psalm that inspired it—summed up inauguration week September 24-28.

Crosswind, a student ensemble, performed the song at College Hour chapel Wednesday and the banquet Thursday. Menjares made Psalm 84 the theme of his speech at the inauguration ceremony Friday.
