At the end of the fall semester, I received a letter signed by 76 members of our Chatham faculty & staff community, in support of an earlier student march, asking Chatham’s Board of Trustees to explore and consider designating Chatham a Sanctuary Campus.  Since these requests were received, the President’s Cabinet has been researching and discussing this issue with the intention to present our findings for consideration by the Board of Trustees at its February Board meeting.

It is with both great gratitude and optimism for the future that I write to say "farewell" as Sam and I put the final touches on packing and loading the van for departing from Gregg House this morning. I can hardly believe how the years have flown by, and how joyous and fulfilling my time as president of Chatham has been, despite occasionally difficult times and challenges.
