On Campus: Presidential Search Update, New Web Design Kickoff, Owl of the Week

Search Proceeds Apace. Trustee Arlene Gibson '65, who chairs the College's Presidential Search Committee, has posted a brief report on the committee's progress on the Presidential Search Web site. The committee, Gibson says, has spent the summer soliciting nominations and reading résumés. "Our efforts resulted in a significant number of qualified applicants," Gibson says, and the committee has invited a series of applicants to meet with them this fall.

Web Redesign Kickoff. All members of the campus community are invited to a presentation of the designs for the renovation of the College's Web site scheduled for January 2008. On Tuesday, Oct. 2, in Carpenter B21, the Web Advisory Group will discuss the project's goals, give the community a preview of the new look and present some of the research findings that guided the design. Representatives of Electronic Ink, the Philadelphia-based research and design firm that created the new look, will be present to answer questions.

Owl of the Week Honors Go to Rugby Player. For the first time, the Owl of the Week is a member of the Horned Toads bi-college club rugby team, which trounced the University of Scranton 48-0 last Saturday at the School of Social Work Field to bring their record to 2-0.

Natalie Armentrout '11 connected for five tries (a "try" is a five-point score) in the contest with Scranton. Her first try came in the first two minutes of the game, to be followed by a second try just five minutes later. As the first half came to an end, Armentrout added her third try to give the Toads a 29-0 halftime lead. In the second half, Armentrout continued her stellar performance, racking up two more tries to lead the Toads to their second victory of the season.
