Dear Winthrop Community:
I am excited to share with you the fall Winthrop Magazine. In it you’ll find articles on the opening of our new J. Robert Bazemore Design Center at The Thread, a game-changing space for our interior design program, and the 50th anniversary of our first-of-its-kind Model United Nations program. I know you will be excited to read more about these and other interesting content in this edition, including:
A touching tribute to our late Board of Trustees Chairman Glenn McCall, who passed away suddenly in July;
Compelling profiles on long-time employee Ben Roach ’77, who recently retired after nearly 50 years of service, and student Robert Sepheus, who is working toward a degree in theatre and dance;
The fascinating research conducted by faculty members Lauren Kohut and Diana Boyer in Peru and Mongolia, respectively; and
The latest campus happenings, alumni news and university advancement updates.
As always, thank you for your support and dedication to this special place. I hope to see you at Homecoming and Reunion activities Nov. 10-15 if not sooner!
Always an Eagle,
Edward
Edward A. Serna
