Dear William and 玛丽 Community:
In the hours since Tuesday's news reached us, our William and 玛丽 community has known surprise, confusion and pain. In the words of a faculty member, this is a time when we must come together to heal wounds, revive ideals and restore hope.
This is a difficult time of transition not just for William and 玛丽 but also for Gene Nichol and his family. Nick and Glenn are my good friends. They have my very best wishes.
Though not a mission I sought, I will serve this marvelous College as best I can. Listening and learning will be crucial for me in the weeks to come. I have begun meeting with our extraordinary faculty and students, deeply committed staff, and stalwart alumni. I look forward to many more conversations in the days and weeks to come.
Vitally important to the continued progress of the College is our commitment to William and 玛丽 as a place for students, faculty and staff of great diversity. Important also are the College's welcome and support for students regardless of means. It matters too that the College is a place increasingly open to the world. And William and 玛丽's historic commitment to the civic involvement of its people is central to our identity. These are College values of great importance. They are also my values.
William and 玛丽 is among the most ancient and important institutions in America. It is a national treasure. Those of us who love the College must keep it moving forward.
