The ongoing search to fill the position of vice president for finance and administration is continuing, according to Dr. Antoinette Iadaroia, college president.

In a campus-wide meeting held Tuesday, April 22, Iadarola said the college was working with Kaludis, a search firm, to find a replacement for John Barclay, former vice president for finance and administration.

Barclay was killed in an automobile accident while performing missionary work on New Year's Eve.

Iadarola said the college had received applications from over 80 applicants and that she expects to narrow the field down to between three and five candidates before the college begins the interviewing process.

Iadarola said she expects to have someone in place by mid-July, but she was pinpointing Aug. I as the target date for having someone in office.

Iadarola said a search to fill such a prominent position usually takes between four to six months to complete.

In the same meeting, Mike Caranfa, chief physical plant officer, said construction for the Sports and Recreation Complex is on schedule and proceeding according to plan.

Caranfa said the footings were about 80 percent complete and that the foundation work should be finished some time this week.

Caranfa also said work on the apartment complex is moving smoothly and is actually two weeks ahead of schedule. If the weather remains good, work will continue on both projects according to schedule, according to Caranfa.
