Beloit College was a part of my life from an early age. My Mom, grandparents, and other family members were alums, and my great-grandfather was a professor. On visits to Wisconsin we would always visit campus. What made me choose Beloit in 1966 was the Beloit Plan—combining the small residential liberal arts experience (including close relationships with professors) with the chance to experience an off-campus field term. My interest in 2024 is in ensuring alumni support for Beloit, in maintaining the core experience that offers an education that prepares them for productive lives as citizens of our dynamic world.
