Acknowledging Dr. Quillen

Thursday morning, the president of Davidson spoke to a committee of the Senate. The Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee is comprised of members of both parties, and was having a hearing on the affordability of education - likely due to Obama's State of the Union promises to make higher education more affordable.

Needless to say, Dr. Quillen was extraordinarily impressive as always. I am so proud to be at the school that I am attending, and even more proud to have such a wonderful woman as my president. My predecessors did a wonderful job finding a new president.

I'm looking forward to Quillen's Monday signing of the Davidson Climate Action Plan and unveiling of the solar panels on Baker. Honestly, I will probably give Dr. Quillen a hug then.
