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.
