President's Roundtable
The President's Roundtable held its inaugural meeting on October 8, 2009, and meets three times a year for a formal dinner or picnic and a presentation designed to help members become better acquainted with the College. Past meetings, for example, have showcased the communications department, music and theatre departments, and the Center for Leadership Initiatives.
