“We have walked in your shoes”
Kim-Jenna Jurriaans
“We have walked in your shoes,” reads the beginning of a letter sent by twenty-seven former trustees and chairs to current members of the Board that oversees Antioch College and sealed its fate during a meeting in June. The group of various vintages joined hands in an attempt to reach out to the current board offering their institutional knowledge and professional perspective to assure the future existence of the 155 year-old Ohio College.
Updates from the O of T
By Jeanne Kay
“The numbers change everyday”, emphasized Janice Kinghorn, Associate Professor of Economics working in the Office of Transition. Since Antioch has adopted yet another acronym last June, the OT has been busy working individually with students to provide them with orientation and help in this time of crisis; it has also been trying to keep track of who will be returning to campus in the Fall. The uncertain state of affairs, however, makes it difficult to keep a steady count of the student population. “A lot of parents call and ask: ‘What’s going to be left there?’ I must answer that I don’t know”, confesses Kinghorn.
Save Antioch weekend is fundraising success
5.3 Million dollars were raised in cash and pledges during the fundraising weekend of the 18th/19th August by the various Antiochians who organized activities such as picnics and movie showings to raise money for their alma mater. The College Revival Fund has grown to reach 7.8 Million dollars within two months of its creation.
