DEDICATION DR. DONALD MEYER k We are proud to dedicate the 1986 Cornucopia to Dr. Donald Meyer. Dr. Meyer first came to D.V.C. in 1947 after being in the Navy for 4 years. During the first 15 years here he was the only Dean and acted Second in Command under President James Work. Besides his Administrative duties he taught Freshman Ori- entation, Psychology, and History of Education. Dr. Meyer is very proud to have been part of the beginning creation of D.V.C. In 1965, Dr. Meyer left D.V.C. to attain other goals. First, he went to Harrisburg to work for the New Commission of Higher Education of PA. While there, he held the positions of Acting Program Director and Director of Approval of New Colleges and Programs. In 1968, Dr. Meyer became Director of Community Services Continuing Education, at the Commission for Higher Education in Conneticut. He received the Top State Director of the Country Award while in Conneticut. Later he moved to Wash- ington to continue in that position. There he was primarily con- cerned with the use of Federal funds to encourage Collegiate Institutions to offer innovative programs and to cooperate with all segments of society. During this time, Dr. Meyer traveled through about ¥i the states in the country, while also teaching graduate courses at the University of Peurto Rico on weekends. After 15 years with the government, Dr. Meyer was asked to return to D.V.C. to teach Psychology as a full professor. Through his years here he has seen many changes and has helped many of them to occur. He has seen it rise above temporary set-backs, and seen it stay afloat through these many years. He is very proud to be part of this institution. During his years here he has received the Annual Student Gov ' t Faculty Award twice. This he feels is a special award because it comes from the students. Dr. Meyer has had many other interests to fill his time. He was a Local State Judge for Miss America, he enjoys painting, and has attended Art School. He was even a Lumberjack once. After this semester, Dr. Meyer will be retiring. He plans to move to New Hampshire and build his dream house overlooking a lake. During his retirement years Dr. Meyer plans on counseling, writing, and organizing Faculty Sharing Programs for Educational Institu- tions. Dr. Meyer has achieved many goals in his life. We, the students would like to thank him for sharing his experiences with us. Good Luck Good Bye. Dedication 9
