The President’s Message…
Dear Clarion Faculty and Coaches,
By the time you read this, spring semester grades will have been submitted. I hope you are
enjoying the lovely late spring weather with a glass of lemonade or iced tea, or something
stronger if you imbibe. You’ve certainly earned it!
On the issue of consolidation, there will be a meeting next weekend of the Edinboro, California, and Clarion
APSCUF presidents, VPs, and other senior leadership with President Jamie Martin and other state leaders and
staff. There are still many questions to be resolved and I hope that we can make progress on them. I’ll
provide a report after the meeting.
If you’re not teaching a summer class right now, I recommend that turn off your email for a while and enjoy
your favorite summertime pursuits. As for me, I’m going camping at one of our lovely state parks. Enjoying
the natural surroundings and relaxing by a campfire are exactly what I need right now!
In solidarity,
