The hub of activity at Metro State didn't stop when classes ended in the spring, particularly with a new president at the helm. Among the key announcements was the formation of a new presidential cabinet and the search for the new provost.

On the fundraising side, Development staff exceeded their goals by $600,000; the college has been awarded a second five-year grant totaling nearly $2.1 million for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) and is a finalist for a Toyota grant for the Family Literacy Program.

Other changes include: The college will no longer operate the Metro Academy at the Lookout Mountain Youth Detention Facility, the Center for Visual Art has become part of the Art Department, and the Leisure Studies program has moved to the Department of Health Professions.

Below is a recap of key summer news and announcements.
