President's Message
Dear Friends,
I was talking to a member of the Class of '87 at Homecoming and she remarked at how welcoming the campus appears today. In her day, students spent most of their time on the other side of Moore Street and often had to dodge cars driving down 18th Street through the center of campus.
Over a period of years, students, alumni and our dedicated employees have slowly transformed the center of campus. Some of the changes were major (you can't get more major than building two, soon to be three, new buildings), some were more subtle. What isn't subtle is the reaction from both alumni and students. The alumni are universally pleased that Juniata retains the homey feel of the caring campus they remember, yet has improved its facilities without removing its essential character--its "Juniataness" if you will. We can tell the students love the new look because they're voting their conscience--by enrolling.
The central quad no longer is the place you walk through to get to the gym or Ellis Hall. With the addition of the science center, the new theatre complex and soon, a renovated Founders Hall, the central campus has become the academic heart of Juniata. I vividly remember the anticipation and excitement that accompanied the building and completion of each new project.
Just as we transformed the image of our College, I invite you to share in the exhilaration as we go forward to Juniata's next challenge: to build the Scholarship Fund and our endowment in order to continue to make our top-notch education affordable and challenging.
Warm regards,
Thomas R. Kepple Jr.
President
