Thank you for your attention.

LeChevre Pompadour, Provost of Campus Initiatives

Congratulations are in order for the incredible LeChevre Pompadour, who has been tapped to lead the New, and as yet Undisclosed, Campus Initiative. We hope to unveil the specifics soon, but needless to say, LeChevre has been hard at work laying out the KPIs and OKRs that will serve as key benchmarks as we move forward. LeChevre has led a number of high performing and results-driven initiatives including the very important 2020 Parking Lot Assessment (see above for the an image from the final product), the 2021 WorkForce Reduction Pilot Program and the as yet to be completed 2025 Administrator Salary Study. Between 2012 to 2019, he was my personal life coach and advisor.

LeChevere is President and CEO of the highly regarding consulting firm Pompadour and Sons.

Sincerely, President Henry Cotton

The Board of Trustees announces, with great sadness, that Provost Thwart has tendered his resignation effective immediately. Provost Lying’s work at Willard College was tireless. During his brief time as Provost, after the resignation of Provost Lying, he oversaw the renovation of the cutlery in the dining hall, located more cost effective procurement of toilet paper and other items essential to the smooth operation of the college, and maintained contact with faculty when necessary. Provost Thwart will be replaced by Vice President Twig Babbles.

Now former Provost Thwart leaves us with this very moving message:

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve this institution during one of the most challenging periods in the college’s history. “To everything there is a season.” My season as the Provost of Willard College will conclude immediately. With an eternally grateful heart, I thank the Willard College community for giving me a season to remember and in due time, treasure.”

Dear Loyal Staff, Faculty, and Administrators,

Please remember that we must stay on message concerning upcoming Tuition Adjustment Policy changes. Tuition will be responsive to recent inflationary pressures and increased financial commitments. It is important that we all familiarize ourselves with the basic message which is:

1. Tuition increases only occurred because of outside forces beyond our control.
2. We regret the increases. No one is more upset.
3. None of the tuition increase will go to administrative costs.
4. Willard College remains committed to provided excellent educational experiences at a competitive price point.

Thanks, Vice President Twig Babbles

Dear Community, I’m pleased to announce Willard College’s new promotional and capital campaign. “Living Well with Failure” captures the Willard College reputation for excellence balanced with reality. The new approach also aligns well with our educational mission and reputation. All employees will receive a free t-shirt emblazoned with the image provide above. Large banners will soon be all over prominent and visible places on campus. Dr. President Cotton will be embarking on a nation-wide tour called “Living Well with Failure: The Willard Way.”

Thanks, Vice President Twig Babbles

Dear Willard Community,

Our faculty profile for the week features Dr. Fran Framm, Economics. Since arriving to Willard College a decade ago, she has taught all of her classes in the swimming pool’s deep end. Flotation devices are not allowed. Because class is in a swimming pool, students cannot take notes, Dr. Framm cannot use a chalk or white board. The acoustics are terrible. Sometimes she submerges and talks under water. Exams are also done in the swimming pool and students use kickboards as desks. Points are deducted if the exam gets wet. Another example of teaching excellence!

Who will we feature next week? Send us your suggestions!

Provost Thwart

Dear Willard Community,

We wish to express our gratitude to former Provost Lying for many years of loyal service to President Cotton. Sadly, the College has decided to go in a new direction and a new direction always requires new leadership. We wish Provost Lying the best in his future endeavors and that he can quickly clear his name in a court of law. Provost Thwart has taken over former Provost Lying’s office, staff, and responsibilities.

Some of you may know Provost Thwart as a much beloved professor of Economics. His principle theoretical contribution to the field was his 1999 essay, unpublished, “Do Consumers Exists?” In that essay, which led to his being granted tenure here, Thwart argued that consumers do not exist. People buy things. But they are not consumers. They are buyers. But they aren’t always buying. But they are always people.

Please be on the lookout for a message from Provost Thwart where he’ll explain the new direction Willard is taking.

Sincerely, President Cotton
