FROM THE PRESIDENT OF OLIVET COLLEGE

Thank you for joining the Olivet College community. We are very excited to have your son or daughter as a member of our campus. There are many exciting things to get involved with as a parent. We certainly welcome you on campus anytime and we encourage you to get involved with our Parent Advisory Council. We not only want to make Olivet a great experience for your son or daughter, but for you as well.

Olivet College is very unique in higher education. We are one of the few colleges or universities to have a campus-wide compact, which is a guide to responsible behavior. Also, our vision stresses responsibility, both individually and collectively. At Olivet, we believe in students taking responsibility for themselves and others in an increasingly complex and diverse world.

The Olivet Plan challenges students to learn from their full range of experiences, inside and outside the classroom. Our faculty is dedicated to their teaching and put students first! Our staff is just as dedicated to serving your sons and daughters while also helping them to learn new skills. Our employees are here because they truly enjoy the learning process and want ALL students to succeed.

Olivet College is excited to share with you some recent campus improvements. The cafeteria in the Kirk Center recently underwent a $1.1 million renovation. This is the first major renovation of this building since it was built in the early 1960s. The Milford E. Reeder ’41 Cyber Café is now open in the lower level of Burrage Library. We also upgraded our campus-wide wireless network.

It is great to have you as a part of the Olivet family and I look forward to getting to know many of you. We pay attention to each and every student on campus and we plan to do the same with each one of you. We believe in opportunity, diversity and responsibility.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Don Tuski ’85, Ph.D.

President
