Cazenovia announces it will close after the spring semester. "The business realities that led to this extremely difficult decision were accelerated by the global pandemic and skyrocketing inflation. The population of college-aged individuals has been and continues to shrink making it hard for small private colleges like Cazenovia to maintain enrollment levels. Since its peak with nearly 1,000 students on campus, Cazenovia’s enrollment has dropped by over 40 percent. Additionally, the coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted recruitment and fundraising efforts while increasing economic burdens for the College. Large investments were made in technology and campus safety measures while enrollment dropped with students choosing to postpone college or take a leave of absence, which negatively impacted the College’s financial situation. Lastly, the recent uncertainty in the bond and stock markets made it exceedingly difficult to refinance the bond debt which came due in September. Being a small college without a large endowment has made the College’s challenges formidable. While the College worked tirelessly to strengthen its financial position, unfortunately, these efforts did not create results to ensure long-term viability." (link)

Mary Hardin-Baylor VP of Athletics Kerr will relocate to Arizona to be closer to family at the end of the academic year and former VP of Athletics/current Athletic Events Manager Mann will return to the chair.

These past 18 months have allowed me to recharge my batteries and I am looking forward to serving our coaches and staff in the athletic department. I want to thank Dr. O'Rear and Dr. Theodore for their leadership and faith in me. I also want to thank Dr. Kerr, who has led this department so well. I wish him the best in his new endeavors."
