Hats off to you LucyAnn!
Dedication<br />
Seniors Mary Rousseau (left) and Kristi Johnson stand with Dr. Geiselman on her inaugura<br />
tion day.<br />
In the year of Nineteen<br />
Hundred and Ninety Two,<br />
the college stood nestled<br />
between the German and<br />
Belguim<br />
Embassies off of<br />
Foxhall Road. It was in that<br />
year that Doctor LucyAnn<br />
Geiselman came to the aide<br />
of Mount Vernon in the<br />
spirit<br />
of Florence<br />
Nightingale.<br />
In those restless days, she<br />
came with the spirit of<br />
integrity, enthusiasm, love,<br />
and hope that was needed<br />
for the College<br />
to shine. Her<br />
passionate love for<br />
challenges and spunky<br />
nature won her hearts from<br />
the Mount Vernon family.<br />
So much so, she was<br />
inaugurated on September<br />
18th, 1992 as Mount Vernon's<br />
8th president. On her special<br />
day, an overwhelming spirit<br />
of pure happiness and love<br />
was shared by everyone<br />
including a passionate letter<br />
from her daughter.<br />
In the words of e.e.<br />
cummings which express<br />
that day and all the days of<br />
LucyAnn's presidency:<br />
i thank you God for most<br />
this amazing<br />
day: for the leaping<br />
greenly spirits<br />
of trees<br />
and a blue true dream of<br />
sky; and for everything<br />
which is natural which is<br />
infinite which is yes<br />
(I who have died am alive<br />
again today,<br />
and this is the sun's<br />
birthday; this is the birth<br />
day of life and of love and<br />
wings: and of the gay<br />
great happening inimitably<br />
earth)<br />
how should tasting<br />
touching hearing seeing<br />
breathing any Hfted<br />
from the no<br />
of all nothing human<br />
merely being<br />
doubt unimaginable You?<br />
(now the ears of my ears<br />
awake and<br />
now the eyes of my eyes<br />
are opened)<br />
Under the leadership of<br />
Dr. LucyAnn Geiselman,<br />
Mount Vernon has<br />
maintained and improved its<br />
high<br />
standard of academic<br />
achievement.<br />
In admiration of her<br />
extraordinary ability, high<br />
ideals, dedication, and<br />
untiring labor, in<br />
appreciation for keeping<br />
Mount Vernon alive for us,<br />
and in gratitude for her<br />
personal interest in students,<br />
the <strong>Phoenix</strong> of <strong>1993</strong> is<br />
lovingly dedicated to Doctor<br />
LucyAnn Geiselman.

to meeting other college republicans at<br />
C.R. parties located throughout the D.C. area in<br />
