     MADAM PRESIDENT:

    I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:

    Whereas, Sherrianne Standley was appointed senior vice president for advancement at the University of Southern Indiana in 1986. At the time of her appointment, she was the first female vice president at any of Indiana's public universities, and has served in this institution for more than thirty years;

    Whereas, during her tenure, Sherrianne Standley worked for both USI presidents, managed the identity transition of a regional campus into a separate public university, created two Advancement departments and managed five, and directed a capital campaign that surpassed its goal by eight million dollars;

    Whereas, in addition to her professional accomplishments, Sherrianne Standley has served as president of the YWCA of Evansville. She has also been on the steering committee of the National Conference on Institutionally Related Foundations and is a former president of the Indiana Council for Advancement and Support of Education;



    Whereas, Sherrianne Standley has been honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award by Indiana State University, the Sigma Tau Gamma Administrator of the Year Award, and the Kentucky Colonel Award. She is a graduate of Indiana University and earned a Master of Public Administration degree from Indiana State University; and

    Whereas, Sherrianne Standley will retire from the University of Southern Indiana in 2007 to spend more time with her granddaughter. Her departure is a great loss to the USI students, employees, alumni, and parents: Therefore,
