DE PERE, Wisconsin (WFRV) Br. Jay Fostners position at St. Norbert College has been cut, according to a letter sent to staff and faculty by President Brian Bruess.

In the letter, Bruess cites an organizational update as the reason for eliminating p. Jays role as vice president for mission and student affairs. He has held this position for the past nine years.

I would like to recognize the father. Jay for his 21 years of college service, said Bruess in the letter. Under his leadership, the College noted many improvements by integrating the mission into our facilities thanks to art, spaces for reflection and expressions of Norbertine heritage; improvements to the Center for Norbertine Studies, the Norman Miller Center for Peace, Justice and Public Understanding and the Sturzl Center for Community Service and Learning; re-articulations of our mission statement; integration of mission and heritage into the Colleges hiring practices; the growth of many student affairs departments; and dramatic improvements to our residences.

Bruess explains that an essential part of our planning efforts is the work of aligning our organizational structure with our objectives and strategies, work that has been underway for over a year.

The college will soon begin to look for a vice-president of student affairs / dean of student engagement.

This new position would include monitoring student affairs, student retention, equity and inclusion.
