Borrelli Editor-in-Chief Dean of Students Jim Roberts has announced that he will be retiring effective June 30. Roberts, who has served as Dean of Students since 1980 and has been at Clackamas since 1970, submitted a request to retire to the board in March, and the board approved it, thus clearing the way for his retirement. “It’s time to retire. I feel like I’m doing a good job, but I want to devote some time and energy to some fun activities,” said Roberts. Roberts cites no hard, or negative feelings in his decision to step down. “I still like working here; it’s a great place to work. The staff is great-the students are great-it’s a real positive environment. There are no negatives at all,” said Roberts. When Roberts began work ing at Clackamas 20 years ago, he was the head of the Student Ac tivities and the Financial Aid department until 1976. When the two departments split, he assumed the position as Student Activities Director, before becoming Dean of Students. In that time, Roberts has seen many positive changes at Clackamas. “When I came here there was only Clairmont Hall and the trail ers. I was involved in getting the paper started, and I was involved in student government. I really enjoyed working with the stu dents,” said Roberts. Working with students is something that Roberts has re ally enjoyed while at Clackamas. “Working with people, not as much students anymore, I like the opportunity to work with folks, to accomplish projects and goals that have been set,” said Roberts. Now, with a lot more free time, Roberts plans to take full advan tage of that by spending time with his wife Madeline, his five kids, and his eight grandkids, and get back into some activities that he hasn’t had time for. “I want to bicycle Oregon. I also want to take up golf again, and finish some unfinished proj ects around the house,” said Roberts. The search is currently on for a replacement for Roberts, but no definite date has been set. CCC President John Keyser said that the selection process is getting underway. “We’re talking to people who report to Jim, and talking to people who are interested,” said Keyser. Keyser is hopeful of filling the vacancy by the time Roberts steps down. “I want to take a recommen dation to the board in May,” said Keyser. Roberts feels that his succes- sor will need to be focused before stepping into his job. “The person must have excel lent people skills. Avision ofwhat must be provided to students and other parts of the campus. Must have a vision, and the manage ment skills to implement them,” said Roberts.
