ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL LAUD O. VAUGHT DEAN OF COLLEGE Dr. Laud O. Vaught has served as Dean of Lee College since 1980. As chief academic offi- cer of the College, he supervises the services of the offices of Associate Dean, Department Chairpersons, Dean of Admissions, Librarian, and Academic Advising. He also proposes rec- ommendations to -the President concerning faculty and academic appointments. Dr. Vaught took a well-deserved six-month leave of absence this year following heart surgery. During his absence, Dr. Ollie Lee, associate dean and director of institutional research and planning, served as Acting Dean as well as coordinated his own office. Great strides were taken this year through the efforts of Drs. Vaught and Lee. They imple- mented a new faculty evaluation plan which is part of the College ' s five-year, long-range plan. Dr. Lee was assisted by an academic admini- strative team consisting of all department chair- persons and program directors which met on a regular basis to review the progress of aca- demic programs. These accomplishments are just representa- tive of those things which make Lee College what it is: a Christian college where academic excellence is the norm.

Dr. Paul Conn Vice President for the Office of Institutional Advancement The Office of Institutional Advancemet, under the direction of Dr. Paul Conn, experienced a highly successful year at Lee College. Dr. Conn, vice president for institutional advance- ment, holds the rank of professor of psychology at Lee. His impressive academic credentials include a Ph.D. from Emory University and recent postgradu- ate work at Harvard LIniversity. He taught psychol- ogy for fourteen years before assuming his new position, the demands of which gready limit his classroom time. Dr. Conn is a prolific author of nonfiction. Sev- eral of his eighteen books have appeared on national best-seller lists. He also has received numerous awards for his newswriting. Evidence of his rigor- ous standards for achievement is highly visible in his capacity as vice president. Basically, institutional advancement governs all aspects of the college operation which make con- tact with the outside world. Recruitment, alumni affairs, development, community and public relations, and special events are all coordinated under the auspices of this office. Ambitious goals were set and have been achieved in the area of development. A drive to fund one new endowment scholarship per month in 1985 resulted in the addition of thirteen new scholarships for the year. That same goal is in effect for 1986. Funding for three scholarships in January has put the 1986 drive off to a great start. In addition, institutional advancement ' s recruit- ment efforts, such as College Day and recruitment nights in major cities, are paying off with increased enrollment. In each of the last two years, enroll- ment increased over the previous year. If this premier year is indicative of future perfor- mance, the Office of Institutional Advancement prom- ises to steer Lee College to a position of promi- nence in the academic community. by Jay Faulkner 20 ACADEMICS
