KEENE Staff Writer The 2016 presidential election is in its final phase: the general election. Following the primary cycle, which saw harsh attacks from both sides of the political spectrum, the final two candidates are Hillary Clinton, for- mer Secretary of State, and Donald Trump, real estate tycoon and reality television star. With many voters feeling alienated by their respected parties, and two candidates who are astonishingly unlikable, according to the Huffing- ton Post, some voters feel that a third party is the best option. 55 percent of Doane University students are voting, and of that 12 percent are voting third party. Even with more than two party options, many students are completely absolving from voting this election cycle. Finally, 24 percent are not voting entirely, leav- ing the remaining 21 percent totally undecided.

    Summer 2009 Summer 2009 Volume 17 Volume 17 Bellevue University’s Next President By Mary B. Hawkins, Ph.D. President Bellevue University I deeply appreciate and am honored by the confidence the Board of Directors and Dr. John Muller have placed in me through my appointment as President of the University. It is a tremendous opportunity to lead such a dynamic institution. The fact that I will be only the fourth president here in 44 years speaks volumes about the stability of Bellevue University’s leadership, the quality of its faculty and staff, and the vitality and constancy of its mission. On the first day of classes in 1966, the institution’s motto was, “Where the student counts.” The same commitment to the success of students drives everything we do today as well as our vision for the future. Through the years, Bellevue University has built a strong track record and reputation for serving what were once called “non-traditional” college students – working adults age - - 25 and older. Today we call them “adult learners,” and they comprise about 40 percent of U.S. college students. That was not the case four decades ago. Higher education has changed and Bellevue University is a leader in that change. Whatever you call them, our students really are individuals who have seen and experienced first-hand the value and importance of education in building better careers and lives for themselves and their families, and ultimately, a better society. Bellevue University has succeeded and grown by meeting their needs. This institution has an ambitious vision for the future – national prominence in educating career-oriented students.
