Since 1897, the ultimate DNA of Bay Path has
been its entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitude.
One defining moment during my presidency was
the establishment of the One Day A Week
Saturday program for adult women in 1999. is
new, accelerated model of learning for working
adults eventually became the springboard for e
American Women's College. is year, we will be
celebrating 20 years of educating adult women at
our One Day to Today event on October 26, 2019.
I hope you will join me at the celebration, so please
mark your calendars for the big day.
Immediately following the launch of the One Day
program, innovative graduate education became a
centerpiece of the institution's vision and is evident
today in our over 32 graduate programs from the
master's through the doctoral level within our
University status that was attained in 2014. I
congratulate our creative and dedicated faculty
and staff in their determination to develop unique,
relevant graduate programs that are in high
demand in our region and country.
Finally, I have a profound sense of gratitude to the
Board of Trustees, who have challenged, listened,
and supported me through all our endeavors. I am
also extremely fortunate to work with talented and
committed faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the
University who have worked tirelessly to ensure our
mission and vision plans were executed successfully,
and who supported our students in so many power-
ful ways. We have continually raised the bar, not
just for a brighter future for Bay Path, but for the
thousands of students, who through education,
have been given wings to soar.
Carpe Diem!
