WCAA Board President,
Renee Harris Yates '72 and new Miami President,
David Hodge at WCAA Fall Board Meeting.
|
|
One
of the highlights of the fall Board of Trustees
meeting was the opportunity to welcome Miami's new
president, David Hodge, and his wife, Valerie. The day
before joining trustees for lunch at the Lodge, the
Hodges toured Peabody Hall with Dean Gracie and were
introduced to the Western College Archives by director
Jacky Johnson. In his remarks to the board, President
Hodge confided that the experience had been very
moving and led him to understand how important living
and studying on the Western campus must have
been to those who attended. The board presented him
with a copy of Narka Nelson's history of the college and Dean
Hoyt's memoir, Where the Peonies Bloomed.

 On Saturday,
Miami's vice president for academic affairs,
Jeffrey Herbst, spoke at our annual luncheon for WCAA
international scholarship recipients. Dr. Herbst has a
special interest in international education and
acknowledged that Western College was ahead of its
time in 1953, when it embarked on its innovative
international focus under the direction of Western
President Herrick Young. He stated further that the
alumnae association is continuing that legacy with
generous support of scholarships to bring
international students to campus as well as send U.S.
students abroad. |
