President's Letter

(effective 12/1/10)

Dear Colleague:

The mission of Lesley University is to prepare men and women for careers that make a difference. Whether you catalog library resources, help students with financial aid, support a science lab, maintain our facilities, teach online or in a classroom, or manage an office or academic program, you are an essential part in fulfilling that mission.

Every day, each one of us plays an important role in the creation of a university committed to student learning and social justice. The campus is comprised of buildings and the various classrooms, labs, and offices, but the most significant asset of a university is its people. When faculty, staff and administrators collaborate with one another and appreciate each person’s contribution, we help create the most humane and productive learning environment for our students.

As Lesley University moves into its second century of service, we celebrate the diversity of our alumni, students and employees – all of whom have much to contribute to their communities. I encourage you to get to know your colleagues in this special Lesley community, to participate in all this University has to offer and to help shape its second century of service to an even more diverse student population.

Many of us get various forms of satisfaction from our work, and it is my hope that you gain satisfaction in knowing that your labors at Lesley have a positive impact on our students, graduates, faculty and staff. I hope that you find both personal and professional fulfillment at Lesley University, that you enjoy working with your colleagues, and that you appreciate the special bond we feel in fulfilling the mission of this University.

I extend an enthusiastic welcome, both personally and on behalf of everyone here at Lesley, and I look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Joseph B. Moore

President
