Campus ChampionRob Shutts dodges individual kudos for a job well done. Instead, the director of facilities planning, design and construction acknowledges his entire office for its teamwork in pushing through the College’s major capital improvement projects. Rob also credits the campus community’s patience during the electrical distribution upgrade. “It’s always a challenge when a project is not retained behind a fence,” he says. “It’s right out there in front of everyone — the blockades, dust, noise and construction — and the positive ‘we’re all in this together’ outlook has us ahead of the game.” Thursday, Aug. 27President’s Opening Address and Faculty Meetings: Corey Union Function Room, 8:30 a.m. Refreshments served at 8 a.m. Friday, Aug. 28 Saturday, Aug. 29 Welcome Picnic: Bishop/Shea Quad, 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29 Sunday, Aug. 30 Residence Hall Welcome: Residence Hall Main Lounge, 7 p.m. Mandatory for on-campus residents.
