Gilbert Atnip, former vice chancellor of Academic Affairs, retired on Sept. 30 after working 37 years at IU Southeast. Atnip held the vice chancellor position for 22 years. “I decided to retire as soon as I became eligible,” Atnip said. Chancellor Sandra Patterson-Randles said Atnip’s position made him second in command.

Pancakes were served up circus-style at the third annual Chancellor’s Pancake Breakfast on Wednesday, Aug. 29. In the early morning hours, faculty, staff and students lined up on the breezeway for a chance to catch, snag and dive for pancakes being flipped, tossed and flung by John Young, owner of Chris Cakes, who catered the event. The pancake breakfast, hosted by Chancellor Sandra Patterson-Randles, was put together to welcome back returning students and give new students an introduction to the campus, as part of the campus-wide Week of Welcome.
