| Dining & Retail Services structure review |
|
Margaret Empie’s upcoming retirement will require us to review the overall structure in Dining & Retail Services and determine what changes, if any, need to be made to the existing structure. Until that review is completed, the following is the interim plan:
- Effective June 1 – Marty Johnson will become interim director of Dining Services.
- Wartburg Store and Mailroom operations will continue to report to Margaret through her retirement date of July 31.
We anticipate announcing any structural changes in the upcoming weeks. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, contact Rich Seggerman in LH 206 at 352-8215 or richard.seggerman@wartburg.edu no later than May 17. Thank you in advance for your patience during this time of transition.
