From President Dewine . . .

To the Hanover Campus Community:

When I first arrived at Hanover I quickly learned that there were many folks in the Hanover/Madison community who had not been on our campus and didn’t really feel comfortable coming to campus. I wanted to make sure our neighbors knew they are welcome and that they would begin to feel like Hanover is their college campus. I therefore asked the student life staff to come up with plans for a community open house with lots of activities for young children. They more than rose to the challenge and have planned a wonderful open house/”thank you” to our local community members. I would like to encourage all faculty, students, and staff members to help welcome our neighbors this Saturday, October 6 from 1:00-3:00 in the afternoon.

You may see young children and community members in the Horner Center, the Science Center, the Library, Art Gallery in CFA, Haq Center, and walking around campus. Bill Bettler and his band will be playing between the library and CFA. Many of our Hanover students and staff have volunteered as clowns, face painters, and game organizers, as well as helping with set up and clean up. If you would like to participate please call Ashley Clifford at 7079.

Please help me welcome any community members you see on campus this Saturday. We want to live up to our reputation for being the “Friendliest small campus in the US”! I hope to see a lot of Hanover T-shirts on Saturday.
