Dean Michelle Janssen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On August 1, 2014, we’ll welcome Michelle Janssen as Wabash’s new Dean for College Advancement. \u00a0You can read the official story here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the Grunge’s report.<\/p>\n

I traveled to Valpo some years ago with Joe Klen and a few other folks from the College. \u00a0Valpo was setting the gold standard on some database conversion work and we wanted to “benchmark” with them. \u00a0Dick Maddox, a Wabash Dad, was their VP for Advancement and Michelle was their director of development. \u00a0We focused on database, for sure, but I came away with a real sense that their major gifts effort was also a gold standard. \u00a0Michelle was leading that effort.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2014. \u00a0Michelle takes over as our Dean. \u00a0College for men – woman as our chief fundraiser. \u00a0Some might question it. \u00a0Makes perfect sense to me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wabash is a place that gets into your blood and Michelle gets it – she got it several years ago. \u00a0She gets it the way Fran Hollett, Ginny Hays, Lou Ristine, Anne Ford, Melissa Butler, Kay Widdows, Laura Wysocki, Sara Drury, Alison Kothe, Nancy Doemel, Sherry Ross, and Carol Runge get it. \u00a0Several of those ladies are legendary here. \u00a0ALL of them absolutely believe in this good place.<\/p>\n

Michelle truly believes in what we are doing for young men and as such for the rest of humanity. \u00a0Will she be an agent of change? \u00a0Yes. \u00a0Will she shake things up? \u00a0Definitely. \u00a0Will it be good for all of us? \u00a0Absolutely!<\/p>\n

President Greg Hess has jumped in with both feet and I think he’s found a Dean that will be a perfect fit for his “West Coast Offense”.<\/p>\n
