Graduation Speech: Welcome To Batesville

Satisfactory Essays

During my interview, the members of the Presidential search committee told me and my wife, Leigh, that Lyon College is a welcoming and accepting community. They assured us that Batesville was a wonderful place to live and raise our daughter, Maddie. We have found that to be true as faculty, staff, students, alumni and many members of the Batesville and Independence County community have gone out of their way to make us feel welcome. Thank you. Although I’ve met many of you since I assumed the Presidency on July 1, I hope to meet many more of you over the next year as the advancement office schedules receptions in several different cities in Arkansas and surrounding states. You will receive information about this as events are scheduled.
