ECTC Archives: Employee Newsletters

"Your copy of this newsletter is one concrete result of the faculty-staff morale meetings held last spring...The newsletter's primary purpose is to provide the ECC "family" with the means to keep in closer touch, sharing our professional and personal news, publicly recognizing our colleague's accomplishments and airing our views on college concerns." From the August 1986 issue.

Beth Nickell Mimi  Pike and Celia Winslow served as the newsletter's first editors. The newsletter was named, simply, Newsletter, with a long line before the word Newsletter. The September 1987 issue is the first with the title ECC Newsletter.  Contents include new division chairs, new services, promotions, degrees earned, new classes offered; they also include personal details such as news of kids, new cars and an array of other personal tidbits.
