From the President's Office

To the Hanover Campus Community:

I am pleased to announce the addition of Lynn Hall to the cabinet. There are two reasons for this addition. First, athletics is an important element in the students’ overall college experience and we need to have their input on campus wide issues. Second, Lynn reports directly to me and I believe all direct reports to the President should serve on the cabinet. Lynn will add her knowledge and sense of fair mindedness to our discussions.

This leadership team will work together to guide the college and it is important that all constituencies are represented. As we look for ways to make Hanover stronger please contact any of the following individuals with ideas and suggestions.

To the Hanover Campus Community:

The Rivers Institute at Hanover College is a very unique opportunity for any college or university. I want to be sure we take full advantage of that opportunity. Therefore, I am placing the Rivers Institute in the academic affairs division which will allow us to continue to build on the strong programs already in place, while providing direction for future growth. The search for an executive director will continue, and once selected, the executive director will report directly to the Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs. This represents the next step in the Institute’s maturation and will help ensure that students and faculty are direct beneficiaries of this program

The Institute should enhance our understanding of the culture, economics and science of river systems. It should be a model for interdisciplinary and collaborative study and teaching. It also has an external requirement to find partners from outside Hanover to continue the work once the grant has ended.

If you have suggestions about how we can advance the Rivers Institute, or know of someone who might be interested in the Director position, please contact Rob Graham.

I don't understand Poker.

There is an article on MSNBC about an upcomming game between a World Champion Poker Player and a Computer. It discusses, in part, the mathematics involved in teaching a computer to play poker. So, it's interesting to people who find that sort of thing interesting.

But what I don't understand is how someone can be good at poker. Because I don't "get" it. I don't know what my opponent has, so how can I know if I have something better than what my opponent has?

It's something to discuss.
