Welcome to Menlo CollegeThis is my first semester as the President of Menlo College.I have been a CEO, a Venture Capitalist, an Entrepreneur and abestselling author, among other things.So why did I want to add college president to my resume? It was all about theMenlo community and the impact the College is having on lives. I felt that Icould become a part of a special family, and I was honored to accept the reignas its chief champion. It is a special privilege to be on a campus where scholarsdevelop into future leaders, learning to think critically, strategize, innovate,communicate, connect, change and lead.Menlo is entering into an exciting chapter in its history. Our academic successwas most recently recognized by AACSB accreditation, a seal of approval onlyoffered to 5% of business schools worldwide. I’m excited about working withthe faculty in their efforts to stay at the forefront of education with first- ratescholarship, and the highest academic standards. Our highly successful internshipprogram is producing jobs for students even before they receive theirdiplomas.We celebrate each one of our students as we reflect on their unique collegeexperience, and look toward to their future success.Take note of the following bullets when you visit our beautiful campus, and Ithink you will understand why I so quickly said “yes” to Menlo College:President Richard A.
