GROWTH TRANSITION REFLECTION 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT Mission Statement: Molloy College, an independent, Catholic college rooted in the Dominican tradition of study, spirituality, service, and community, is committed to academic excellence with respect for each person. Through transformative education, Molloy promotes a lifelong search for truth and the development of ethical leadership. PRESIDENT'S LETTER There are defining times in our lives when we pause to reflect upon where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. There are also times when we look ahead and choose the next path we will follow. For Molloy College, the time to do both is now. Just as people evolve, evaluate and plan, so do institutions. As you probably know, I have decided to retire at the end of the academic year. With that, there will come a new leader, new paths and new goals for the College. It is an exciting time for me as an individual, and also as the President of Molloy. Exciting because during the better part of the year that lies ahead I will have many opportunities to reflect on the journey that Molloy and I have taken during the 20 years of my presidency. Exciting because I will have the chance to work with the individual who will lead the Molloy community. And exciting because it is time for me to step onto the next path I’ve chosen. This Annual Report of the President is the first of many opportunities for the Molloy community to review the journey that we – all of us – have taken. We will not only cover accomplishments of the last year, but will also turn an eye to the institution’s progress over the last two decades. It has been a well-planned, well-executed journey. We should all be proud of our collective achievements. The Molloy of today is very different than the Molloy of 2000, and I cannot wait to see what the next 20 years hold.
