Two new members have joined the 成人抖阴 Board of Trustees, which oversees the operations of the college: Mitch Vance, a founding partner of a private equity investment firm, and Dr. Richard Danson, a physician specializing in internal medicine.
Vance, who graduated from the University of Oregon, first visited 成人抖阴 with his wife, Leslie Eaton Vance 鈥83, and was impressed by the faculty, staff and students he met. 鈥淭here is something special about 成人抖阴 students,鈥 he says. 鈥淭hey leave 成人抖阴 purposeful about their lives. The college has a transformational impact on them.鈥 The Vance鈥檚 daughter, Claire 鈥16, attends 成人抖阴.
Danson, who earned his bachelor鈥檚 and medical degrees from UC Irvine, says his daughter, Lauren 鈥13, visited two dozen colleges before choosing 成人抖阴. 鈥淪he considered Ivy League and big, Midwest schools; however, the Christian focus, great academics and the availability of resources made 成人抖阴 a perfect fit,鈥 he says. His son, Austin 鈥15, applied only to Westmont.
Danson and his wife, Randi, co-chair the 成人抖阴 Parents Council. 鈥淚 want to serve the Lord and be a resource to the school in any way I can,鈥 Richard says. 鈥淚 hope to share knowledge about medicine, running a business, ministry, evangelism and being a parent.鈥
Vance says he hopes to contribute positively to the board at this interesting juncture of history for higher education. 鈥淭he trustee board will certainly face the opportunity and threat posed by online learning and the affordability challenge of attending a residential liberal arts college like 成人抖阴,鈥 he says.
