“My experience of Swarthmore as a student, even when it hurt, increased my self-confidence, my capacity to understand others, and my ability to forgive. I learned that my humanity is more than my intellect and that my heart and soul are its partners in finding the paths to balance and fullness. I came here believing happiness lies in what you do for others and the experiences then and over the last 25 years affirm and sustain that belief. And a word of tribute and gratitude for the faculty who taught me so much through their disciplines and as models for living: Helen North, Dan Hoffman, Elizabeth Wright, Larry Lafore, Hilde Cohen, and Gil Stott.”
