    MAGAZINE VOLUME 85 NO.2 DEAR MEMBERS OF THE SWEET BRIAR COMMUNITY: s our first semester comes to a close, my wife, Jan, and I wish to thank you all A for the exceedingly warm welcome we have received from alumnae, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends of the College. This has been a banner time for Jan and for me, returning after all these decades back where we were when we were so young. It has been one of our life’s greatest blessings to be sure. The New Year will be pivotal for Sweet Briar as we continue the strategic evaluations of all facets of our College started by Dr. Jo Ellen Parker and the leadership of our sterling Board of Directors. Sweet Briar is certainly not alone in the difficulties it faces: A radically different admissions cohort and the simultaneous shift in demographics pose challenges that single-sex institutions have no choice but to confront. For our College, the research and analysis work continues at a robust pace. I am confident it will be completed on time and the Board of Directors will use the findings to guide our way forward. You may read more about the strategic planning on pages 2-3 of this magazine, and we will continue to keep you updated as we progress. Jan and I hope that the New Year will smile warmly upon one and all. Yours very truly, James F. Jones Jr. Interim President Sweet Briar College SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE MAGAZINE POLICY FIND SWEET BRIAR ONLINE The magazine aims to present interesting, thought-provoking material.
