Finding Opportunities in a Challenging Economy From the President’s Desk President Lee Cox addresses alumni panelists at the CCES Alumni Career Program on March 19. Several years ago, before coming to Greenville, I came upon a note written by my father. It had a profound effect on me and continues to be a guiding force in my life. Written in his hand, on a yellowed note card, was a single question: What are the essentials of a full life? To this question he enumerated four short answers: (1) a faith fit to live by; (2) a self fit to live with; (3) work fit to live for; (4) someone to love and be loved by. I don’t know when he wrote these words, what his frame of mind was at the time, or even if the words were actually his. What mattered, and what had the strongest effect on me, was that here was a set of principles without which, however articulated, no life endeavor could be fully realized. The theme for this issue of Highlights is finding opportunities, a quest made all the more complex in a challenging economy. Among others, you will read about Wayne Hopkins ’91, who moved from Hollywood to the ministry; about Carrie Ryan ’96, who transitioned from law to writing; and about Connor Sullivan ’99, who created his own law firm to meet his own needs and dreams. In these and other examples you will read of people following their passion, not simply looking for a job. Beyond that, however, I will venture that there are even deeper needs that motivated the people you will read about; and if pressed, they would affirm that the fundamental bedrock of satisfaction rests upon qualities very similar to those listed by my father. There is no doubt something deep in our human nature that causes these needs to resonate so strongly. How they are nurtured and developed, though, depends largely on the environments in which we find ourselves or which we seek. And to be sure, the environment at CCES encourages all of our students, at every grade level, to search for meaning, to grow their faith, to think independently and critically, to take risks (which sometimes means learning valuable lessons from failure), to be of service to the community, and to be a positive force in the world. Maturing in faith, the development of a fully realized self, preparation for a life of worthy endeavor—all of these are a central part of the CCES experience. Lee Cox President Spring 2009 | 5
