A Message From The President “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” --John Quincy Adams In this issue of Lake Erie, we pay tribute to John F. (Jack) and Susan Turben, who exemplify the distinctive qualities of leaders in all aspects of their lives. “ Susan Turben have Jack and been major catalysts in this revitalization. They have given of their time, talent and treasure to lead Lake Erie College through sometimes turbulent times and to make it great. We are indebted to them in ” countless ways. I have been fortunate to have known the Turbens since my arrival on the Lake Erie College campus seven years ago, and I consider them to be role models, mentors and friends. They have inspired me to lead this historic and progressive institution with the same commitment to greatness that the College’s founders brought to Painesville in 1856. This greatness can be seen in all aspects of the College, from our academic programs to campus life. We are proud of our students and alumni, who exemplify the best and brightest of the world today. This issue of Lake Erie showcases some of this greatness. Lake Erie College has changed a great deal from the institution our founders envisioned 156 years ago, and even from the women’s college many of our alumnae remember. The changes have been positive ones, however, and the campus again resounds with activity and a fresh spirit of discovery and engagement. Jack and Susan Turben have been major catalysts in this revitalization. They have given of their time, talent and treasure to lead Lake Erie College through sometimes turbulent times and to make it great. We are indebted to them in countless ways. Best wishes to all for an abundance of happiness and success throughout the new year. Sincerely, Michael T. Victor, J.D., LL.D.
