USD President's Report 1991

The celebration of the success of this campaign is very much like a com- mencement exercise for USD. We are closing one chapter of this university's growth and beginning another. And with it comes even greater challenges and opportunities. A new era is upon us. No longer can we confine our efforts to helping students learn specialized knowledge and mar- ketable skills. We also must help them become aware of the increasing inter- dependence of life, whether measured on a personal scale or a g lobal one. We must open our doors and our opportunities to people and nations across our borders. And we must learn from them as well as about them. For five years, our board of trustees led and worked alongside other members of the USD family to help us prepare for a new age in higher education. Now we find ourselves on the threshold of that new adventure. It is an exciting and joyous time.

A LOOK AHEAD
