Dear Ithaca College community,

For the last nine years, I had the great privilege and honor to serve on the Ithaca College Board of Trustees. For the final six, I led the board as chair. Serving as a trustee gave me an opportunity to express my love for Ithaca College and my desire to help advance the mission of this institution.

My service on the board ran its course at the end of May, and since then I have taken time to reflect on my years on the board and how profoundly they have touched my life. I am writing to you now to thank you, and to share my heartfelt gratitude for your investment in this college and in this community.
