From the President Dear friends, One of the great things about living and working on a college campus is that we escape, to some extent, our modern, linear concept of time. At the college we seem to live in cycles that all bend toward the fresh start, the next chance. A class that goes badly is followed by a good one. An athletic team that struggles gets better and starts winning. The seniors graduate, but three months later the freshmen arrive.
Constant renewal becomes the norm.
We can be young, at least vicariously, forever. During these cycles, though, it is essential to have a bedrock of stability that brings us back to the college s mission, that reminds us why we re here. Every encounter with these folks is a trip to the unknown. In their presence, under their influence, students ignite. It is amazing to watch it happen.
