The Westmont Board of Trustees, which oversees the operations of the college, has welcomed four new members. Denise Jackson ’78, a director of human resources in Pasadena, Calif., Sharon Rose ’89, an attorney in Washington, D.C., Lynne Tahmisian ’67, vice president of La Arcada Investment Corporation in Santa Barbara, Calif., and Celeste White ’76, president of Vintage Ranch Properties in Napa, Calif., are all alumnae of Westmont.
About 11 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, a 20-foot travel trailer just above Page Hall became engulfed in fire. Due to the presence of strong winds and the potential for a fast-moving fire to spread to campus, college officials decided about 11:10 p.m. to follow established emergency protocols and to evacuate all students to Murchison Gymnasium.
