CONVOCATION REMARKS
JESSICA S. KOZLOFF
It's my first

future.
Before I do so, let me take a few moments to reflect on
the past two months.
As I drove to my

hanging at the foot of College Hill which said, quite simply but

was very touched by this display of friendship and warmth.
Any
grandiose sense of importance I might have experienced soon
disappeared when a new banner appeared with the words,
"Bloomsburg Sidewalk Sales, July 14 to 18." Surely there is a
message for all presidents here.
It reminds me of some advice
one of my former presidents gave me upon hearing I had been
appointed as president.
He repeated Hary Truman's advice that
presidents should never confuse the importance of the office with
the person who is temporarily occupying it.

These past weeks have been a wonderful period of discovery
for me.
I've learned a great deal about this university, its
people, culture, and tradition.
I've learned some things about
what it means to be a president.
Banners are all well and good,
but the best perk I've discovered since coming here is that if
the president says she'd like to play a little tennis, the tennis
coach offers to be her mixed doubles partner. And the icing on
the cake is when, during a difficult point in the game, I say to
my partner, "It's yours," it is.
I'm anxious to see if this
experience repeats itself across campus!
I've learned this is a university with great expectations
for its new president.
As daunting as this realization is, I'm
comforted that high expectations for presidents are commonplace.
A colleague recently gave me this quotation from John Nason, a
former president at Swarthmore College:
"The President is expected to be an educator, to have
been at some time a scholar, to have judgment about
finance, to know something of construction,
maintenance and labor policy, to speak virtually
continuously in words that charm but never offend, to
take bold position with which no one will disagree,

to consult everyone and follow all proffered advice,
and do everything through committees, but with great
speed and without error."
I accept the challenge of trying to meet your expectations.
I
pledge to give every ounce of my energy to fulfilling them to the

will find that you are making decisions, not because

union, or of the legislature, or even of yourself.
You are making decisions because it is in the best
interest of your university."

I've been repeatedly told over the last eight weeks that
people are anxiously awaiting the articulation of my vision.
Let me say, as honestly as I can, that I am not comfortable with

articulate your vision, not to impose mine.
I am much more at
home talking about my values, my understanding of the issues
facing higher education today and how they relate to Bloomsburg
University, and my own presidential agenda.

These are exciting and challenging days for us. We're
approaching not just the Twenty-first Century, but a new
millenium.
I believe the future of Bloomsburg University is tied
to how well we can anticipate the future and position ourselves
to take a leadership position in meeting the challenges before
us.
There are four challenges that we must turn into
opportunities.
First, because higher education increasingly competes with
other components of the states' budgets, there is a major gap
between the financial resources we need and what the state
allocates.
Closing this gap will require consistently telling
our story to leaders in the Commonwealth, securing additional
resources through the private sector, grants, entreprenurial
activities, and reallocation from within, and using whatever

embracing changes in how higher education is administered and
delivered, with particular attention to the effective use of
technology.

world, is under a cloud of suspicion from policymakers,

to be isolated from those

problems.
We need stronger and more visible linkages with the
community around us. We must define our institutional mission as
precisely as possible, develop strategic plans to support it,
communicate it to the public; we must demonstrate our
partnerships with the public schools, small business, health, and
corrections, and respond to the concerns of communities in
northeastern Pennsylvania.
In this regard, I sincerely encourage
all of you to show your caring spirit by participating with me in
the State Employee Combined Appeal.
Third, concern with the quality of the undergraduate
experience is widespread. Our students represent different ages,
races, cultures, life experiences, and levels of preparations.
In order to truly be an effective, committed teaching and
learning institution, we must understand who our students are,
how they learn, and how we can implement a more supportive
environment for learning.
I want Bloomsburg University to be
known as a place that adds value to its students* lives, to be a
place where students succeed Let me clearly state that I do not
advocate "pandering" to students.
I advocate setting very high
standards, clearly stating our expectations and finding ways to
support students to meet those expectations.
.

Clearly, the most important actors in implementing effective
teaching and learning practices are the faculty.
But faculty
operate in an institutional culture, one which may either
constrain or encourage a commitment to excellence in teaching and
learning.
The reason I am so adamant that our commitment to
teaching and learning must be university-wide and that we must
We
all share in the academic mission is tied to this last point.
will have a quality educational experience only when this is seen
as a university-wide commitment.
When I say all of us, I mean
just that.
This university cannot succeed in being all it wants
to be unless everyone
from the person who clears snow in the
winter to those who hand out diplomas in the spring
shares
the responsibility and credit for educating our students. As you
may have heard, I'm taking a very close look at how we are
organized in our various divisions, to determine if we could
"move the furniture" a bit to make this university-wide
commitment just that.
You'll be hearing more about this effort

actions are taken.

Our fourth challenge is that of community.
If there is any
theme for my presidency, I would say it is wrapped up in the
word "community." I am convinced our future ultimately depends
on how successfully we can engage this campus to enhance its
sense of community and purpose.
Ultimately, our success and
future will depend upon our ability to break down the barriers to
more collaboration with each other, with other institutions, and

Let me speak a few minutes about

why I think we, in academia, have been losing a sense of
community
The increasing public cynicism and the external pressure for
accountability have caused many of us to believe we are losing
control of our own destinies.
The twin dilemmas of external
pressures and a lack of internal vision or purpose has led, in
many cases, to a defense of the status quo or a retreat into our
safe havens of specialized disciplines or professional sub-units.
At the very time we need to pull together, we find instead, on
many campuses, a loss of community and collaboration.
Red tape,
specialization, the demands of a more diverse student population,
and fewer resources, have created a fertile environment for
morale problems. A recent study conducted by the National Forum
on Faculty Revitalization concluded that campus morale was not
tied to the availability of financial resources, to the supposed
reputation of the faculty or students, or to the beauty of the

involving the entire university in a comprehensive examination of

My third priority will be to enhance communication between
faculty, students, staff, and administration.
We need more
improved communication among areas and within areas. We need
more honest and open communication. As evidenced by the very
active rumor mill on this campus, folks know how to talk about
each other.
We need to apply that same energy and creativity
toward talking to each other.
I pledge to communicate with you as often as I can through

I made a difference in people's
lives."
I can only do it with your help.
I ask you to join me
