  • From the President
    From the President Exploring. Coming Home. Making Connections. I am writing this letter in late December from the Netherlands and the home of our dear Dutch friends, George and Marja. Although I am usually on campus or traveling within the U.S. on behalf of Austin College, I am delighted to spend a few days of my first January Term having the same kind of self-expanding experiences that our students and faculty are exploring this month. Like them, I have come to Sherman, Texas, to see the world! One of the pleasures of travel is the chance to “re-understand” the meaning of home. I am delighted to find that Austin College has indeed become home to me and my family. We continue to be amazed and nourished by the warm welcome we have been offered on campus and in the Texoma region. These many kindnesses have given me so much energy for the work before us. We are moving forward, full-steam ahead, with a new vision for the long-dreamed-of science building. (You’ll read all about the IDEA Center in upcoming magazine issues.) We are engaged in strategic planning and working to develop the best alumni-student career network of any small college in the country. Also, we are in the middle of a search for a new vice president for Institutional Advancement. And our new Web site will be unveiled early in the spring, and we hope it will enable you to keep in closer touch with the campus. Being in touch is an important theme for me in 2010, so I hope you will come to visit us in person or write to me with your thoughts and ideas.
