Special advisor to Honor resigns

Nicole Eramo, special advisor to the Honor Committee, announced her resignation at the first meeting of the Honor Committee in the 2006-2007 year last night.

Eramo will become an assistant dean in the Office of the Dean for Students beginning Sept. 11.

Candidates are currently being interviewed for her replacement. Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia Lampkin and Honor Chair Alison Tramba will be involved in the hiring process.

Once a replacement has been named ,Eramo will train him or her.

"My first day in [the Office of the Dean of Students] is not my last day here," Eramo said at Sunday's meeting. "I haven't spent eight years of my life working here to watch it all crumble. It will be well taken care of."

Eramo has served as special assistant to the Honor Committee since October 1997, when the position first became available. She said she originally signed on to work for a year and ended up staying because she realized she liked working in student affairs.

While serving full time as special assistant to the Honor Committee, Eramo also received a degree from the Education School.

Eramo said she will continue to be available to the Committee after she begins her duties in Peabody Hall.

"I'm prepared for a slow transition," Eramo added.

The Committee thanked Eramo for her work over the past nine years.

"Not only is this a great opportunity for Nicole but this is also a time for us to be visible leaders," Tramba said.

Eramo said she expects to continue to work with Honor even after a replacement has been named.

"It's just been an incredibly rewarding experience for me and I hope that I'm just adding more students that I work with and I'm not leaving Honor behind," Eramo said. "I hope I'll always be part of their community."
