As the Class of 1993 leaves its undergraduate days behind, time will make clearer how the Whittier experience has helped shape the mental universe of each of you. The strong community values Whittier has instilled, the provocative learning opportunities, and the extraordinary devo- tion and support of the faculty have all played a lasting part. As much as you may value Whittier today, I predict that the significance of your memories and the substance of your education will matter even more in the years ahead. I am confident that the things you take away with you today—a sound education, warm and lasting friendships, high ideals—will make a profound and positive impression on your future. I hope that, years from now, the memories of your educational experience here will confirm the intelligence, the rightness, of your choice to become a part of this magnificent institution. I congratulate you for your accomplishments here and for all of those that you will achieve on the journey ahead. I am proud to be able to extend to you—new Whittier College alumni—the college's best wishes for your continued success. Sincerely, ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION The undergraduates receiving degrees this day have followed one of two paths to their Whittier degree: the Liberal Education Program or the Whittier Scholars Program. The Liberal Education Program provides students with a well-balanced curriculum which stresses the interrelatedness of the various liberal arts disciplines. The Whittier Scholars Program allows the self-directed student to design his or her own course of study under the guidance of an eductional design review committee. All students are required to complete a minimum of thirty units in their major field, although specific course requirements vary by department. Whittier College offers the masters degree in education. The degree is awarded following required courses of study in the discipline. Whittier College School of Law confers the degree ofJuris Doctor (J. D.) on those students who have completed the rigorous course of study required by the Law School.

Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols; but the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary Ascribe to the Lord, 0 families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the Lard in holy array; tremble before him, all the earth! Say among the nations, "The Lard reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity." Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; Let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy before the Lord, For he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

  • Excerpts from the Signature Event Featuring Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman, Quicken Loans Inc
    Excerpts from the Signature Event featuring Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman, Quicken Loans Inc. and Rock Ventures LLC Majority Owner, Cleveland Cavaliers January 30, 2018 “When the [previous] owner of the Cavaliers… Gordon Gund, who still owns 15 percent of the team, roughly – he called a banker and the banker called us and said: You know, this guy wants to sell the team. He doesn’t want to have a big process. He wants to sort of get in it with one group right now, doesn’t want it to be public. You know, why don’t you just hop over Lake Erie here and come do it? And so, we did it. And, like, three weeks later we signed the deal. I looked at my partner and I said, what – why are we doing this? But it worked out pretty good.” “[LeBron James] wanted to come back home. And we resolved everything. I mean, I went down to Miami and visited him and his team. And literally we talked for 10 minutes about what had happened that night with the decision … and the letter. …The next two and a half hours, we just talked about the future and … what the team would look like with him on it, our draft picks, and our assets, and all that stuff. So you can’t start holding grudges, as you know, in business and in life, you get to a certain age there’d be nobody to turn left or right to.” “I’m one of these guys from the real estate/mortgage business who doesn’t necessarily believe that the interest deduction is the holy grail of real estate motivation in the world.
