PAMS hosts first college-wide event for retired faculty and spouses

PAMS hosted retired faculty and spouses from all five of the College's departments at a holiday luncheon on Dec. 16, 2005.  This was the first time this group had been gathered for one event.

The group enjoyed catching up during the pre-luncheon registration time.  During the luncheon itself, Dean Dan Solomon gave brief remarks.  Then each department head discussed news and achievements that would be of interest to the crowd.

More than 80 people attended the luncheon.
