 Welcome from the President:
I look forward to seeing all of you on May 10. Commencement, a
significant rite for you and your families, is one of my favorite
times of the year.
Commencement always has a tinge of regret for me, because our
time with you has come to an end. Yet, I also watch with great pride
as you prepare to move on to the next stage of your life. We will be
forever grateful to you for investing your time and money in your
education at Oglethorpe and to your families for entrusting you to
us. We hope we have lived up to your expectations. We are working
hard not only to meet but to exceed them.
Thank you to the families for supporting your students during
this formative time of their lives, and please stay connected to
Oglethorpe. We will always consider you part of our community.
Lawrence M. Schall, J.D., Ed.D.
