Why do we say thank you?
It is because you, the Ambassadors, are the ones going forth to
forge new territory for the University. It is you who bring respect
and distinction to the University as a sample of our product. It
is you who send us your most valuable resource, your children. And,
it is you who serve daily as Ambassadors of the University for all
those with whom you come in contact. These are but a few of your
many contributions for which we say thank you.
— Alumni Relations Director Kayla Price, to the new Ambassadors
The playgrounds that you and Nancy built
Children already are swinging, sliding and climbing on equipment provided through the generosity of a number of Alumni, businesses and friends of the University. Nancy McFarland, wife of President Keith McFarland, called attention to the need for the equipment and raised more than $25,000 so that children at the learning center and family housing would have better places to play. For more on the new playthings and other campus improvements, see page 5.
