According to the old Maslow's Hierarchy found in so many communication and business textbooks, in the middle of the five stage pyramid are "Social Needs," sometimes called "Love and Belonginess Needs." The idea being that once we have what we need to sustain and protect life, we must have support from and connection with others.Yesterday I received the approval of my tribe to continue my relationship with it. The Promotions Committee granted my request for Emeritis Status.
According to the online COCC Procedures Manual subsection H.R. 11-3.1, this is what emeritus status means:
Revised: 10/13/04
To be eligible for emeritus status, retiring individuals must have had faculty or administrative status at Central Oregon Community College for 15 years, with Faculty members retiring from Central Oregon Community College at the rank of associate or full professor, and recommended by the Promotions Committee.
HR-11-3.2 Rights and Privileges of Emeritus Status
Receive bulletins, announcements, and other publications of the College; participate in commencement; be listed in the College catalog; receive free admissions to all regular College events; full use of the College library; full use of Computer Center services; attend the annual professional retreat of the College; use of an office set aside for emeritus; receive occasional and limited secretarial assistance for pre-approved projects related to the College of the individual's discipline; be listed in the Speakers Bureau.
I feel gratified and thankful to receive this recognition of what Dean Michael Fisher calls my "many, many, many" years in the saddle.
