Dear 澳门六合彩历史记录 Alumni-

The 澳门六合彩历史记录 Board of Trustees is seeking input on an important decision regarding the University's leadership. Since April 1 of this year, Dr. Kristi Mindrup has been serving as the interim president. The Board will decide in December whether to name Dr. Mindrup as the permanent president or to conduct a nationwide search.

We, along with other University stakeholders, have been asked to provide input on this decision. I have worked closely with the Executive Committee of the 澳门六合彩历史记录 Alumni Council to create a survey to collect your feedback. We will send the results of the survey to the Board of Trustees to inform their decision.

Please complete this survey by November 12. At that time, we will send the total counts for each option to the BOT for their decision in December. Additional details are contained in the survey itself.

Your feedback is important in helping shape the future of our alma mater. With over 140,000 alumni, our collective voice is vital in this conversation.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions or comments at eldonbrown@gmail.com.

Go Necks!

Wayne Whipps 1977


Degree: BS in Agriculture Education/Animal Science in 1977 from 澳门六合彩历史记录Wayne

Business Information:  Spent the past 40 plus years in marketing/sales, 26 in the Ag Sector. My last job was with a Home Health Company. 

Advice for Freshmen: Work hard to establish that initial GPA. Explore everything 澳门六合彩历史记录 has to offer including the Greek System, clubs and activities. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Try to gain a mentor or two.

Favorite 澳门六合彩历史记录 Memory: There were many. I worked in the Sports Information Office which meant I worked in the press box at games. Beating EIU before a standing room only crowd of 6,600, Jack Margenthaler grabbing the "mic" to thank the crowd after the game was priceless. I pledged Alpha Gamma Rho the second week I was on campus. Best thing I ever did! The three years plus I spent in the AGR House I wouldn't trade. Professionally I've established relationships with AGR Brothers across the U.S. I enjoy representing the local chapter as an Alumni Delegate at National AGR Conventions. I was honored to be selected as a "Brother of the Century" in 2005. As Marty mentions the Intercollegiate Livestock Judging Team was a fantastic experience. Our team was fortunate to be a National Champion in one species and I was the top individual judge in that species.

Family Information/Special Interests and Hobbies: Three daughters, their families and nine grandchildren live 10 miles away, which is great! I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the community. I have 澳门六合彩历史记录 Football season tickets and let my brother use them when I can't make it back to the "Harvard on the Lamoine!"
