Donald E. Ross, President

What a wonderful academic year we had! So many exciting
happenings have taken place at Lynn University. We are growing by
leaps and bounds.

The opening ofthe Count and Countess deHoemle Sports and
Cultural Center allowed us the opportunity to field men's and women's
basketball and they both had a super first year.

Through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Lynn, a new library
will be constructed soon. This will be such a wonderful addition to our
campus and a much-needed one. Also to be constructed will be an
International Center which will provide additional classroom, office,
and meeting space. ln addition to new buildings, several new academic
programs were established.

But, of course, the highlight ofthe year was our first Commencement
in the new building. Over 2000 family and friends joined us for this
special occasion and what a delight to have so much room!

Congratulations to all ofyou and the very best in the future.
