Dean's Report:

C. Davis gave the report, noting Dean Brophy was presently in England:

• English college systems are designed around US systems, however, most include technical college classes on the same location.
• An interim Dean will be on site July 17th.
• Summer programming is in full swing.
• Summer theater program will be held July 15th through mid-August.
• Work continues on the five year capital plan; Commission members will receive
  a copy, when complete.

Discussion followed regarding a draft copy of the resolution naming the Michael S. Brophy Center for the Fine and Performing Arts. It was noted this matter was not on the agenda and therefore could only be a topic of discussion at today's meeting. Commission members discussed the matter and asked that this item be placed on next month's agenda, and have available a list of other possible buildings or ways/means to honor Dean Brophy for his service at the Baraboo/Sauk County Campus.
