Pros

Community values the institution, alumni are loyal and hope for the best for it.

Cons

Administrative leadership lacks experience, ability to handle contraction of industry while continuing to motivate employees. A lot of institutional memory now gone with retirements and departures of top faculty. Increasingly captured by ideological issues that are unpopular or unimportant in the eyes of the general public.

Pros

The College of Health and Human Services saw it's much anticipater start as a formal entity on campus. I was employed as Director of Admissions in the School of Professional Psychology while also attempting to help in the transition to join the new aademic college. Great people at this institution including faculty, staff, adminsitrative assistants, administrators, custodians and students...

Cons

Transitions are difficult for anyone used to their own routine and we gradually made the switch. We were also attempting to work through fiscal limitations as well.
