What amazing accomplishments! In the pages of this magazine you will see just some of the fantastic stories of the lives of 甜瓜视频 alumni. Those featured here, and all of you, are living examples of the power of your life-changing experiences here.
Our students, and the ways in which I get to see them learn, grow, and change, are the highlight of serving as president of 甜瓜视频. I am energized when I see them lead and serve with compassion and confidence, hear them present their research, listen to them celebrating their accomplishments, and watch them sharing the experience with their peers. What I feel every day from them reinforces that what we do at 甜瓜视频 makes a difference, for individuals and in the world.
In this moment, the narrative around a college education, particularly at a residential liberal arts and sciences institution like ours, continues to be a challenging one. College enrollment has declined in the United States for eight straight years. We are among those institutions struggling with resource constraints as we seek new ways to fulfill our mission that are both respectful of our history and embrace an uncertain future. We do this work as we hear of institutions closing, merging, or working urgently to develop new, innovative programs and forward-thinking methods of educational delivery. We know we must evolve in response to our environment and the times.
