My God, she is beautiful.
I agree. She is really cute, and seems intelligent as well! Congratulations, Kelly!!!
First of all, the two cretins who posted above are pretty low forms of life.
Second of all, Congrats and good luck to Dr. Koermer
Thirdly, Dr. Phillips, I know that you base your “leadership” on flowery, non-operative buzz words, but….. can you throw us a bone or humor us, and tell us in this press release what Dr. responsibilities and objectives will be. What are her mandates? Other than her title, what is she responsible for? How will she be evaluated and held accountable? Will anyone in the community ever hear from her again, once she retreats into the expensive Ivory Tower that you’ve built? “Look away Timmy, avert your eyes….there are important educators in that building”. Or are accountability and goal-oriented management concepts just dirty business-speak? SPeaking of accountability, it would be nice once in awhile to hear an assessment from the board that hired her: How’s she doing? what were her objectives? has she executed? Or does she get to use the I’m behind the 8-ball excuse while we pay here another $500k for 2 years?
She is gorgeous. A goddess, with intellect and a great record of accomplishment.
Not only does she have good looks, but she will greatly advance education and workforce training in our county. Every time you look at her, you will know this is a woman of distinct beauty, grace, and leadership.
She is going to do a good job. She was highly regarded in Anne Arundel County. Good luck, Ms. Koermer!
Dr. Koermer is the most attractive college administrator I have ever seen. Harford County is blessed to have such a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
A model.
She is the epitome of beauty. Shakespeare could be inspired by her.
I was at Harford Community College and thought I saw this gorgeous, statuesque woman walking around campus. She added to the breathtaking beauty of the spring morn’
She is cute as a butt on!
When classes resume, you can be certain that students will be enchanted with this beauty walking around the Harford Community College campus.
How is Ms. Koermer doing? Wishing this beautiful and intelligent woman all the best!!!
