Two new members have joined the 做厙惇蹋app Board of Trustees, which oversees the operations of the college: Mitch Vance, a founding partner of a private equity investment firm, and Dr. Richard Danson, a physician specializing in internal medicine.
Vance, who graduated from the University of Oregon, first visited 做厙惇蹋app with his wife, Leslie Eaton Vance 83, and was impressed by the faculty, staff and students he met. There is something special about 做厙惇蹋app students, he says. They leave 做厙惇蹋app purposeful about their lives. The college has a transformational impact on them. The Vances daughter, Claire 16, attends 做厙惇蹋app.
Danson, who earned his bachelors and medical degrees from UC Irvine, says his daughter, Lauren 13, visited two dozen colleges before choosing 做厙惇蹋app. She considered Ivy League and big, Midwest schools; however, the Christian focus, great academics and the availability of resources made 做厙惇蹋app a perfect fit, he says. His son, Austin 15, applied only to 做厙惇蹋app.
Danson and his wife, Randi, co-chair the 做厙惇蹋app Parents Council. I want to serve the Lord and be a resource to the school in any way I can, Richard says. I hope to share knowledge about medicine, running a business, ministry, evangelism and being a parent.
Vance says he hopes to contribute positively to the board at this interesting juncture of history for higher education. The trustee board will certainly face the opportunity and threat posed by online learning and the affordability challenge of attending a residential liberal arts college like 做厙惇蹋app, he says.
