Fred Green to retire in Dec.By Mary Prickett
Green worked in the developmental studies division, now known as the academic support division, but then moved to the social and cultural studies division in 1996. He has also been an assistant adviser for the “Six Mile Post” for 10 years. When asked what he enjoyed most about working at GHC, he said, “A lot of different things. Working with the students and with colleagues, but I got the most joy from the ‘Six Mile Post.’”The enrollment and the number of campus sites for the college have increased, noted Green about the changes he has seen over the years. He said, “There’s not as much contact between the administration and the faculty since the college has grown. In the early years, it was easier to see the president and the vice president because the college was smaller. There were more faculty meetings to talk with colleagues.”Green said he is certainly looking forward to retiring. He said with a smile, “I really haven’t made any firm plans,” though he hopes to do more reading and traveling. He stated that his wife will still be teaching, so any travel plans will have to work around her schedule. Green also expects that he will still teach part time, but smiled and stated, “I can do anything that I want.” |
