32 | Marymount Manhattan College Winter 2017 | 33 MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIRPERSON AND THE PRESIDENT

We would like express our feelings of enormous gratitude for the generosity of all those who have been steadfast in their support of Marymount Manhattan College. We extend a special welcome and thank-you to our newest benefactors, who join a loyal community of individuals and organizations that understand the power of an MMC education to transform lives.

This past fall was one for the record books: the College enrolled 1,842 full-time students, a record high, beating out the closest competitor, fall 2010, by more than 60 students and continuing FISCAL YEAR 2015–16 a four-year upward trend. Counting part-time students, the College has grown to over 2,000 students, a number that includes approximately 150 students each semester in MMC’s college program in the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women.

We are proud that so many students from around the nation and the world choose MMC, knowing that they will receive a world-class education in the heart of a world-class city. With historic strengths in arts and sciences, robust programs in performing arts, and growing programs in business and communication and media arts, MMC continues to build on its mission to foster PRESIDENT’S intellectual achievement and personal growth, and actively promote the betterment of society.

This year, the campus community has also undertaken strategic planning, which will chart the College’s course into the next decade and beyond. Thanks to a $1,000,000 gift from Mary Ellen Hawn ’91 and Gates Helms Hawn, an important element of MMC’s future will be an auxiliary education program, which will serve pre-college, college, and adult learners during the summer REPORT months and on evenings and weekends during the academic year. We hope you will agree that these are exciting times at MMC. We feel fortunate to have your partnership as together we work to propel the College to new heights. Thank you for your generosity, which forms the foundation on which our college will continue to grow and prosper.

Best wishes,

Hope Knight ’85 Kerry Walk, Ph.D. Chairperson, Board of Trustees President
