Dr. William Sipple Retirement Announcement
After an extraordinary tenure as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and an impressive list of accomplishments at Bay Path College, Dr. William Sipple will retire effective June 30, 2010.  Bill has been a strong, talented and innovative administrator and we shall miss him as a loyal colleague and member of the Executive Staff.    
 
We are extremely grateful for all that Bill has done for Bay Path.  In his oversight of the academic and enrollment areas, he brought the concept of the One Day A Week Saturday Program to the College and also oversaw the development of our first graduate degree as well as the eight that followed.  Our enrollment has grown significantly and we can now boast over 2000 students, two additional campuses, and on-line programs.  Since his arrival, Bay Path has moved to the top tier category for Comprehensive Baccalaureate Colleges in US News and World Report as testimony to the excellence of our academic programs.
