LeRoy Graham named new College registrar
The College announced the appointment of LeRoy Graham to the position of College registrar on Nov. 4. Graham, the former senior associate registrar at Dartmouth College, will be guide the operations of an office responsible for registration and record-keeping for 2,350 undergraduates and about 1,800 additional students enrolled in the Language Schools, Schools Abroad and Bread Loaf School of English.
Graham is a native of North Springfield, Vt. and a graduate of the University of Vermont. He replaces Pamela Anastassiou, the former registrar who left in June to pursue other opportunities.
Dartmouth College, where Graham worked for eight years, uses the same information management system as Middlebury College, called "SCT Banner." Even before working at Dartmouth, Graham worked for SunGard Higher Education (SCT) as a consultant in the development of the Bannerweb system.
"Leroy has an impressive knowledge of the Banner student information system and of technology in general," Dean of the Faculty Susan Campbell said in a press release. "He also has demonstrated skills in working effectively with students, faculty and staff. I look forward to working with such a qualified and capable professional."
National media revives "Picking up Butch"
The recent republication of "Picking up Butch" by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated has generated a renewed buzz behind one of the longest-running and deeply respected College traditions, in which two or three first-year athletes pick up Butch Varno from his Middlebury home and transport him to and from every home football and basketball game.
Varno, who suffers from cerebral palsy, has been the subject of the Middlebury tradition "Picking up Butch" for the past 48 years. After he and his mother were flooded out of their apartment in town and forced to relocate to temporary housing, the College responded by paying for half of a house on South Street. The other half of the payment was raised through a college initiative.

Pamela Anastassiou ... she certainly has gotten around, and it looks like she'll be leaving NAU soon, too.
Frankly her track record is less than stellar. (Continued…)
