"In our postmodern and global era, college education at Vanderbilt is just about to undergo a major overhaul, starting with the Freshman Commons! Beginning with the class of 2012, all students will experience the pleasures – and pain – of a holistic personal, educational and relational formation and transformation. My wife and I – along with our three-year old son – are excited to be a part of the team that seeks to leave a life-long imprint in our future leaders who have learned to serve the community of Vanderbilt, Nashville and much much beyond."
