WELCOME TO SU
these abilities, we are educating students who will not only
contribute to the economy through successful careers but
will also help their communities as thought and change
leaders.
V: What do you think makes Stevenson distinctive from
similar liberal arts institutions?
EH: There’s no question that Stevenson has taken the right
approach by integrating a classical liberal arts education
with career preparation. The University prepares students
for today’s economy while supporting the best traditions
of American higher education. This is what students and
their families look for when it comes to being prepared for
the modern and emerging global workforce.
V: What do you anticipate your first steps will be as you
begin your presidency?
EH: The first and most important thing is for me to listen
broadly and learn about the campus and the aspirations
and goals of the community. Of course, there are always
issues that require immediate attention and I will work col-
laboratively with members of the community to address
these issues.
V: Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President of UMBC, com-
mented that you care deeply about students. What are
some ways in which Stevenson students will see this first-
hand?
EH: Freeman is very gracious to say this and I appreciate
it! Students will see a lot of me. I enjoy having lunch with
students, hearing their perspectives, and attending ath-
letic and cultural events on campus. Also, I have deep
respect for students and I always try to be direct with them
in addressing their questions and concerns about campus
issues.
