Date Posted: Tue, April 25 2006, 12:30:28am Author Host/IP: ip70-177-92-253.ok.ok.cox.net/70.177.92.253 Dear Members of the Northwestern Community: Many of you are aware that for the past few weeks I have been a candidate for the position of Chancellor of the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith. I have been informed by Dr. B. Alan Sugg, President of the University of Arkansas System, that my name will be forwarded to the Board of Trustees to become the new Chancellor at UAFS. I will accept this offer and expect to begin my duties in Fort Smith at the beginning of July. The employees of UAFS will be informed today and I will meet with the Trustees on Tuesday. Since I have great respect for each one of you and the job you do, I felt that I needed to personally inform the campus of this news today. I accept this offer with very mixed emotions. For the past five years, Northwestern has been my home and my passion. Serving as president has been an honor, but it has been a true privilege to work with such a talented and dedicated group of administrators, faculty and staff. I have formed many friendships on-campus and in the community and I hope to continue these relationships for years to come. Northwestern is a special place. Janice and I will sincerely miss being a part of this campus community. I am excited about this new opportunity, but I am also excited about what lies ahead for Northwestern. During these past five years, we have all worked together to make this university a better place for students to learn and a better place for faculty to teach. We have improved our infrastructure, and the construction projects that are planned for Alva and Woodward will continue as scheduled. I am proud of the advances that have been made at all three campuses during this time and expect nothing but great things in the future. As I reflect upon the past five years, I know one thing for certain – all of Northwestern’s accomplishments are the result of the hard work and persistence of every employee. People here work hard to do the right thing, and that is what makes Northwestern a great community of learners and scholars. For the next two months, I will continue giving my best effort to serve Northwestern. There is still much work to be done. During the next few days, the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges will determine the process of selecting a new leader and will name an Acting President to take over duties on July 1. I have great confidence in the leadership abilities of our existing administration, faculty, and staff to move the University forward during this transition. I hope to visit with you sometime during the next few weeks and express my gratitude to you in person. For now, please accept my heartfelt thanks and best wishes for the future. Paul B.
