I am delighted to share that Lorry Conklin has accepted the position of registrar/records coordinator. As you know Lorry has extensive experience with VCCS and VWCC policies and procedures. She is very familiar with academic requirements and PeopleSoft. Lorry has started in her new position however there will be a transition period as she ensures that the processes in the Vice President’s office are handled. Please join me in welcoming Lorry to the Student Services Division and in her new position.
