  • Fitness & Athletics Center
    ALUMNAE MAGAZINE Breaking Ground for the VOLUME 79 NUMBER 2 FITNESS & SPRING/SUMMER 2008 ATHLETICS CENTER NOTE FROM THE chair of the board of directors Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae and Friends, I know that you recently received a letter from President Elisabeth Muhlenfeld, announcing that she plans to retire at the end of the next academic year, in June 2009. Betsy made this announcement to the Board of Directors at our April meeting and discussed her decision with the Alumnae Board later that day. There is never a “good” time for an extraordinary person such as President Muhlenfeld to retire. Largely due to her leadership, however, the College is as strong as it has been in many years, with new or updated facilities, outstanding academic programs, nationally known faculty, highly effective, cohesive senior administrators, and sound finances. Her tireless efforts ensured our successful $111 million capital campaign, and her vision has led to the steadily increasing enrollment of vibrant, engaged students. As a result, the College is well positioned to meet the challenges of the future. The most immediate of those challenges is to find a worthy successor to President Muhlenfeld. This is the single most important responsibility of a Board of Directors; we pledge to you that we will do everything in our power to do so. The Board is currently in the There is never a “good” time for process of appointing a search committee, and as soon as it is finalized, we will let you know an extraordinary person such as by email. Its membership will consist of representatives from important constituencies of the College, including the Board, faculty, students, and alumnae.
