2 FALL 2014 Welcome to Menlo College

his is my first semester as the President of Menlo College. I have been a CEO, a Venture Capitalist, an Entrepreneur and a Tbestselling author, among other things. So why did I want to add college president to my resume? It was all about the Menlo community and the impact the College is having on lives. I felt that I could become a part of a special family, and I was honored to accept the reign as its chief champion. It is a special privilege to be on a campus where scholars develop into future leaders, learning to think critically, strategize, innovate, communicate, connect, change and lead. Menlo is entering into an exciting chapter in its history. Our academic success was most recently recognized by AACSB accreditation, a seal of approval only offered to 5% of business schools worldwide. I’m excited about working with the faculty in their efforts to stay at the forefront of education with first- rate scholarship, and the highest academic standards. Our highly successful intern- ship program is producing jobs for students even before they receive their diplomas. PHOTO: MOANALANI JEFFERY PHOTO: We celebrate each one of our students as we reflect on their unique college President Richard A. Moran experience, and look toward to their future success. Take note of the following bullets when you visit our beautiful campus, and I think you will understand why I so quickly said “yes” to Menlo College:

enlo College’s new President, Richard Moran, tagged Menlo College’s New Student Orientation Day “a day full of emotions” in his first campus Mspeech following his appointment. His first instruction was for the audience to take out their cell phones, and post a photograph “to tell the world everywhere where you are.” The tent on Menlo’s quad echoed with the sounds of cell phones in action. He admitted to “having made a career of giving advice,” which includes the following instructions for students: • Go to class (resist all other temptations) • Make friends (you’ll never be in a spot like Menlo College for meeting friends) • Call home (but not that much; this is your time to experience independence) • Use your time wisely (not playing hours of video games -- don’t waste time!) • Make the most of your four years (feast on the fruits of knowledge!) President Moran, a father of four children, then offered two essential tips for parents: • Instill intellectual curiosity in your student • Encourage independence in your student (try not to text and email too much) The President concluded with a promise to the class of 2018: by the end of this first year, he will know each one of them, and he looks forward to it.

This culture of Safe Community care for each other’s success is a hallmark of Menlo College. Menlo is a safe, supportive, and open environment that nurtures a team-centered attitude.” Helping prospective students and their families understand the value of a Menlo College education is a collective undertaking. While the admissions team plays a pivotal role, their success would not be possible without the critical support of alumni, current students, faculty and coaches alike. The personal attention students receive at Menlo College is unrivaled, and the commitment made by members of the community to communicating that message is a key component of the Menlo Advantage.
