We expect to get the 2015-16 academic year off to a smooth and exciting start. There has been much going on in the past few months that I would like to share with you.<\/p>\n<p>As of the end of June, we have raised $18.5 million of the $25 million Tusculum First Capital Campaign goal with funds earmarked for the new center for science and math, the growth of academic programs, endowed scholarships, student life improvements, advancements in technology, and an environmental resources and facilities center.<\/p>\n<p>Those of us who remained on campus this summer have been watching excitedly as the beginnings of the Ronald H. and Verna June Meen Center for Science and Mathematics rise from the ground. The building will meet strategic needs as the college continues to grow in enrollment and program offerings. If you haven\u2019t yet, you can log onto the Tusculum website and see the construction in real time at <a href=\" http:\/\/my.tusculum.edu\/cam\/\"><em>http:\/\/my.tusculum.edu\/cam\/<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We have many exciting events and activities planned for the upcoming year, and I encourage you to attend, get engaged and participate. With the wide range of athletics events (first home football game is Saturday, Sept. 12), arts and lecture series presentations (including a production of \u201cChitty Chitty Bang Bang), Orange Rush activities beginning Friday, Sept. 11 and Student Activities Board excursions, there is something for everyone. Opening Convocation will kick off the academic year on Thursday, Aug. 27. We are very much looking forward to the new year, and I am excited to see what we will accomplish together this year.<\/p>\n<p>Best Regards,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-12084\" title=\"moodysignature\" src=\"http:\/\/www3.tusculum.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/moodysignature.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"62\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nancy B.
