Well when we were on the tour Dr. Willis shared with us the step of the old presidents house. Converse being the school it is I find it very weird that the president lives off campus. I personally think that another house should be built in the same place of the old presidents house.
Converse is all about community and I know on move in day I was very well aware of this. President Fleming stuck her head inside of my room to introduce herself and to let me know that she was there if I needed anything. Now that is not very common of college presidents. However it is quite common that college presidents stay on campus.
My junior year when I was given three college visit days I took advantage of them. I went to visit USC because I wanted to visit my friends as well. All I had to do was go on a tour and I was given credit for a full day of school and I was able to have fun visited friends. Doesn't get much better than that. Well back to the point, one of the things that stuck out on that tour was the fact that the college president's house was in the middle of campus and open to all students. On christmas the president opened up their house for the students to come and enjoy oeurderves. That being said USC is huge compared to Converse and Converse is much more personable so I belive the president should stay on campus.
Fun fact however, when I was on this tour at USC and standing in front of the president's house I was pooped on by bird. If I had been thinking about USC that would have made my decision right there :)
Also I just everyone to know that Across the Universe is an amazing movie and an amazing soundtrack. I'm listening to it right now, that is why I decided to share!!!
The picture is an old library in the Bahamas but I thought it looked appropriate for a Converse College President's house on campus!!!
Peace around the world, for generations.....Fred on youtube!!!
