Regents Convene for August Meeting

 

At their August meeting held Thursday, the Seminole State College Board of Regents heard reports about the opening of the new school year and approved two internal audits.

 

In his “President’s Report,” Dr. Jim Utterback updated the Board on campus activities and the hiring of Jim Wilson as an instructor in the Language Arts and Humanities Division.

 

The Board approved two action items under the business portion of the agenda – both dealing with internal audits recently conducted by BKD, LLP of Tulsa.  Upon recommendation of the Board’s Audit Committee, which had previously reviewed the audit findings, the Board accepted an audit of the Bursar revenue collections and the college’s fixed assets.

 

Audit Committee member Regent Marci Donaho commended Vice President for Fiscal Affairs Katherine Benton and her staff for their work in managing these areas and for the positive outcome of both audits.

 

Members present at the meeting were: Bill Huser, Chair; Marci Donaho, David Wilson, Marilyn Bradford, Kenneth Henderson and Leesa Adams.

 

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 28.
