A Message From President Gardner
A New Year Gets Underway At Williamson
I think the fall issue of the Williamsonian is my favorite. We get
to talk about three important events
that perhaps best describe what Williamson is all about as it “prepares
deserving young men to be useful
and respected members of society.”
As I write this, we’re in the middle
of Freshmen Orientation. A brand
new group of deserving young men
just arrived, ready to follow in the
footsteps of so many who have gone
before. It’s wonderful to watch the
campus come alive again after the
relatively quiet summer months. In
a couple of days we’ll be back at
full strength as the juniors and seniors return, ready to continue their
growth toward being Williamson
Men.
On June 1, we had Commencement. We witnessed the culmination
of three years of hard effort by the
Class of 1W2 as we sent 78 new
“Williamson Men” into the world to
make it a better place. These young
men also represented three years of
dedicated work by all the faculty
and staff of Williamson. This year
we were blessed to have Gerry and
Marguerite Lenfest jointly address our
graduating seniors with words of inspiration and encouragement. I especially
appreciated their describing the importance of supporting one’s alma mater
and their encouraging the graduating
seniors to give back to Williamson. I
might add that once again, even in this
economy, all our seniors were able to
find good jobs, some of them enjoying several job offers from which to
choose.
