Member of the Art DepartIIent Budget and Facilities Committee, 197~77. Chair of the Art De'Dartment Bud2et and FacUities Committee, 1977-78. The Art Departllant vas organized by three major elected faculty colllllittees: Budget/Facilities, Curriculum, and Personnel. The ciepu'taent chair and the ch&irpeople of these three committees foned the principal decision ...lring board of the department. As cba1r of the Budget/Facilities Committee, I was responsible for all bIldcetary organization, determining and justifying all budget requests submitted by the department chair to the college adminis- tration and allocating all department monies. Maintenance problems, studio renovations, expanding facilities, i.e., designing a faculty office-complex from previously poorly used space, were all routinely adm1n1st.ered by the Budget/FacUi ties Committee. In addition, to alleviate ever present budget restrictions, I was able to tap previOuslY unused sources of money. By organizing several student art clubs, for example, the Ceramics/Glass Guild, the Exhibition Committee, GraphiCS, and so forth, \/e were able to channel over $10,000 in student government funds to pay for such things, as (3) . .

In addition, solicited donations in materials and supplies from area industries averaged over $10,000 annually. Member of the Art Department Portfolio Review Committee, 1975-76. Chair of the Art Department Admissions Committee. 1976-78. The voluntary faculty Portfolio Review Committee traditionally reviewed work of potential incoming students. Under IIf1 leadership, the committee expanded to become an Admissions Committee, under- taking the additional res'ponsibllity of active recruitment of new students through stUdent/parent/faculty conferences and campus tours, workshops in high schools, a workshop/conference for high school art teachers, revised bookkeeping procedures to eliminate loss through red tape confusion, and vastly increased publicity. While enrollments declined college-wide, new enrollments in the Art Department increased over sixty percent in 1977. Co-orninAtor of the ceramics and I!lass Prol!rlllll: e Major improvements in the ceramics facilities were made: the kiln room was redesigned and rebuilt by students, the electric kilns were all rewired to be brought up to OSHA standards, the courtyard out- side the ceramics studio was enclosed, and a salt kiln and large stoneware kiln were built. My contacts with industries in the area brought major donations in materials (over $12,,000), and our willing- ness to construct wbat vas-needed enabled us to. get improvements done. Additional courses were added to the curriculum: Advanced Ceramics, Bel!inninl! Glass. and short term courses, SaJ.t Glaze Processes. and How to Make it in the Crafts World. a business course for crafts students. Our glass program began spring semester, 1976, at Wheaton Village, Millville, New Jersey, receiving major publicity in papers, locally, state;..w:l;de, and in Philadelphia. A major regional Glass Conference was organized and held at Wheaton Village in April, 1977, with faculty, students, and professional production craftsmen attending from all over the east coast. e Several guest artist workshops were held featuring Philadelphia and east coast artists. Glassboro students also attended over twenty major workshops featuring internationally known artists at Tyler School of Art, Penn State University, Philadelphia College of Art, and Moore College of Art. My graduating students specializing in ceramics or glass have been placed repeatedly in good graduate schools (Cranbrook, Tyler, Alfred, etc.), teaching positions, or jobs in the field, including. professional potters and glallsblowers in industry and production craftsmen.

Sally Kovach Note: (from first page) In early 1984 I decided to begin looking for an administrative position in a larger or more professional art institution. Within a few months I was surprised and delighted to find my applications successful as I was being considered a final candidate in a number of administrative searches. In an interview for a Dean's position at a large midwestern university (a position I was given to understand would be offered) I asked the about.-to-retire Dean about the possibility of a ten-month rather than twelve-month contract. When, surprised, he questioned my request, I explained that my ow professional work was significant to me. He chuckled conspiringly saying, "I thought, at our level, one was past all that silliness." I was struck by the thought that not only was I not past what I didn't consider silly but in my last ten years of university level teaching and administration my commitment to my ow studio work, while intense, had always, I believe rightly, been second to my commitment to a college. I reviewed my finances and within days decided to resign my current position and withdraw as a candidate where I was under consideration. I felt I deserved and needed time to reaffirm my ow involvement in my work and reestablish my continuing reputation as an artist. An art administrator in an educational institution need not be an artist. But one must know, at a gut level, the degree of involvement necessary to make that stuff we call art.
