Emeritus Status Awarded to Janice Jenny

The Herkimer College Board of Trustees, at the April 22 meeting, took action to award emeritus status to Professor Janice Jenny.

Jenny retired in December 2014 after more than 26 years of teaching. She was hired as in instructor in the Business Division in 1988 and was promoted to assistant professor in 1994, associate professor in 1998, and full professor in 2003. She was instrumental in the development of the College’s Fashion Buying and Merchandising program, the establishment of the vintage clothing collection for the program, and the design of the fashion classroom. She also participated on the Student Judicial Review Board and Academic Senate and served as chair of the Fashion/Marketing Advisory Committee.

Interim President Nicholas F. Laino said, “I am pleased that the Board has recognized Professor Jenny for her hard work, dedication and tremendous impact on our students and the fashion program.”

Emeritus status is an honor granted by the Board of Trustees to retired professional academic and administrative staff members who have demonstrated excellence and commitment to Herkimer College.
