-Ben Sweetland

Throughout your life you've been building the stepping stones to success-from infancy to
childhood to adolescence and ultimeately, to adulthood. The road you built may have had a
few pot holes along the way, but you repaired them and continued on your journey. You've
reached a milestone in that journey-a foundation upon which to build your future and contin-
ue your travel.

You're sailing into a new world full of opportunities and decisions that will make your jour-
ney exciting and challenging. We're pleased you chose Lynn University as a bridge on your
road to success and wish for you a future bright with promise.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Climbing the ladder to success

Twenty two organizations currently exist on campus. They range
from academic based to social organizations. For sµch a small uni-
versity, Lynn prides itself in offering such diverse groups which
complement its academic mission.

This year, there are several new organizations which have laid
the foundations for a new beginning this fall. The Model United
Nations Club, founded by Kari Gonska and advised by Sheila Shep-
pard-Sciarra. As well, Dean Iriving R. Levine has a hand in the
beginning stages of an Inve stment Club. The aviation program and
advisor, Mr. E.K. Morice, hopes to start up Alpha Eta Rho, the avia-
tion fraternity again. Rumor has it that the Greek System has plans
for expansion.
