She stays on your side all semester, and the rest of your time at Fisher." It is obvious to all that she loves to teach. Her enthusiasm and dynamic delivery are well- known. Ms. Myers is always busy. Her arms are full ofpapers, folders, and proposals. Nevertheless, when you greet her on the stairs in 118, she smiles, stops, and sincerely asks how you are.

To the Class of2003 1 One hundred years ago when Fisher College was founded, our " community" of 13 new students were close neighbors with very restricted opportunity and breadth ofknowledge. Our College sought to broaden their experience and under- standing so that they might embrace other communities ofthought, experience, and competencies. One hundred years later. Fisher College hosts students and alumni from each state in the Union, dozens offoreign countries, all ethnic groups, all races, all religions. The College provides a sophisticated array ofcourses and programs to address a wide range ofprofessional goals. Still, the mission ofthe College is to broaden student experience and knowledge to best meet the challenges oflife. That this is done successfully is borne out by the records ofaccomplish- ments by graduates throughout the world. Many people have dedicated their professional lives to your welfare; teachers, administrators, and staff. Fisher College alumni have paved the road ahead ofyou to give guidance and a warm introduction for new graduates as they seek their fortunes. As you become alumni, youjoin this very formidable group that has provided achievements to better themselves, their families, and their associates in the "community" oftheir lives.
