Joe Golden brings us a rich background in professional theater, as well as the MFA terminal degree that is a requisite for our theatre department. We welcome these individuals and wish them well as we continue to provide students with the best possible liberal arts education. The integration of the new McCain Center into the culture and life of the College promises a strong expansion and coalescence of the college community. Not only does the center offer an exciting visual addition to the campus, but it also has a striking interior that is offering numerous areas for students to gather. A growing student body, an expanding campus, increased national athletic successes, and continued recognition as the number one regional liberal arts college in the West, all reflect the strength of this liberal arts college in the scheme of American higher education.
Technology is very much a part of education today, so it has a place on our campus as well.
Now, however, the potential for smaller institutions is great. All of this information not only needs to be assembled and organized, it also must be validated. Faculty are absolutely essential to this validation process. The place for faculty in the provision of a quality education is thus assured. We are expanding our technology as rapidly as funds allow.
