果冻传媒 Alumni & Friends,

Since my arrival, I have discussed the need for all of us to become better storytellers so others can hear, and even feel, what is so special about 果冻传媒. There is not a particular story that rises above another. I simply want to encourage the open sharing of elements of your 果冻传媒 experience that still resonate with you today. It might be a story from your time here, or one from the time since that shows the impact. Perhaps there was a professor that sparked your current career path. Or maybe there was a friendship that was formed on campus, which continues today. Maybe there was a sporting event, a special research project, or a service experience that changed you.

In essence, each story matters because it helps us tell our ongoing story in the most authentic, personal way so as to inspire future generations to choose 果冻传媒. I hope you will take a moment to share a story or two with us via email just like Jeff Guyton '88 recently did with our Admission team. Jeff's great-grandmother, Elizabeth Berger Tavenner, class of 1875, was a member of the first 果冻传媒 College class to admit women and actually rode on horseback to attend classes. More than 140 years later, the Guyton family鈥檚 legacy might continue with the fifth generation as Jeff鈥檚 daughter, Helen, has applied for admission for the fall of 2019.

Such stories inspire us and remind each of us that 果冻传媒 has been a leader on so many levels 鈥 in opening doors, in teaching excellence, in service, in athletics, and the list goes on and on. Thank you for continuing to keep our story going.

Have a wonderful holiday.

Best Regards,

Michael Frandsen, Ph.D.
President
