  • February 26, 2021 President, Search Committee New College of Florida
    February 26, 2021 President, Search Committee New College of Florida Via Electronic Mail Dear Members of the Search Committee: As I read your engaging presidential prospectus, I was drawn to New College of Florida’s distinctive liberal arts model. The opportunity to expand on the college’s influence and build on this unique model that is “open-minded, minimally prescriptive, customized, and evolutionary” invigorates me. Each time I read it I feel myself gaining energy and purpose. I enthusiastically submit my “curriculum vitae,” ​ highlighting a cutting edge integration of applied liberal arts, the intersection of career development and ​ education, an inclusive and welcoming community that builds trust, enhanced organizational effectiveness, and successful financial leadership with partnerships and fundraising. My qualifications and experiences prepare me particularly well to help build an increasingly visible role for New College of Florida that draws interest and enrollment from new pools of students throughout the state, region, nation and world. ​ When I first enrolled at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, as an undergraduate, I encountered faculty who were ready and eager to mentor and guide me. One example is Dori Katz, my faculty advisor, who did not tell me that majoring in French would be impossible because I am deaf. She said, "I will help you." But I soon learned that she didn't know how. So I began to teach her about my world, as she taught me about hers. Without the discussion we sustained and the careful attention she gave me over four years, I may ​ never have become the educated, ethical and engaged citizen that I am today.
