There are great changes on the GCC horizon. Classified employees are indebted to the strong leadership of Dr. John Davitt, a great supporter of our campus staff. We will all be saddened by his departure in June. There will be two events honoring this great administrator’s service to our college. On May 13, there will be a community party at the Universal Sheraton Hotel, and on May 25, an on-campus event in the Verdugo Gym. There will also be a separate all-campus event to honor 2005-06 retirees on June 2. Please watch your e-mail for regular updates. As this is such an unusual semester with so many retirements taking place, the Classified Council board decided not to hold its end-of-year picnic in June, and instead will join forces with CSEA and the GCC Bookstore to hold a spring classified BBQ on May 3. Dr. Davitt and recipients of Classified Council scholarships and CSEA scholarships will be honored. We hope that our Classified Council members will start thinking about that special student worker who is deserving of a scholarship. The criteria are that the student must work for a Classified Council member and also maintain a good GPA. If you are interested in joining the Scholarship Committee, please contact Wendy Grove. With scholarships in mind, I would also like to mention that we are running a See’s candy fundraiser until the end of March. All proceeds go to our scholarship fund. The board would like to give the students a sizeable scholarship, so please buy that candy item even if you are watching your waistline. On April 22, staff members from Glendale College will be walking in the Cure Autism Now (CAN) walk. If you would like to sign up and join our team, please contact Merrilee Ahaus. Business Administration instructor Bob Cutler will be our featured speaker at this month’s Classified Council meeting. He will talk about job interviewing techniques on March 23 at noon in LB200. With many classified positions becoming available, this is an ideal time to brush up on your interviewing skills.
