The First 100 Days

A Message from the President

It is truly delightful to be here at St. Mary’s College of Maryland – the National Public Honors College. As I told the campus during the introduction on campus back in April, it is so fortunate to be at a place that is a model for modern, honors-level liberal arts and sciences education. What a great first month it’s been for me, connecting with some of the staff, students and faculty along with community members has been a true delight.

I look forward to meeting all of you soon and learning more about St. Mary’s College, and to opportunities to explore with others the treasures our campus offers.

Our College is a model for innovative, honors-level liberal arts and sciences education. We have a strong basis on which to build, including a committed Board of Trustees, motivated students, and our dedicated faculty and staff who provide an excellent educational experience.

As I have been getting to know some of you and familiarizing myself with St. Mary’s College, I am eager to work with all of you on developing a vision for our future. This will not be a top-down process but a collaborative effort to chart a course for continued progress.

This site will document our plan for the first 100 Days of my tenure, an ambitious agenda that will involve a lot of listening and learning.

Here you will find a list of events and activities at which I hope to meet as many of you as possible. There is also a form through which you can directly contribute your thoughts and ideas. I hope you will share with me your opinions and vision for how we can continue to grow our College's impact and standing in higher education.
