Each month for 10 years, Manchester University President Jo Young Switzer assembled newsworthy items and wrote an opening essay and closing reflection for a newsletter aimed at allowing graduates living around the United States and the globe to stay connected with the energy, learning, and spirit of Manchester University. This collection of excerpts was gleaned from the many newsletters published from 2004-2014. Dates change. Names change. But the mission and vitality of Manchester University, a life-shaping institution, flourish always.
